The second studio album from Eliza & The Delusionals is a stunning collection of songs that play off of each other brilliantly and put emphasis on the songwriting improvements from the band. Make It Feel Like The Garden was produced by Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy, Amy Shark) and lead singer Eliza Klatt shared, “It was interesting to see how working in a different part of the world, outside of the comfort of our home studio and Australia in general, has influenced our writing and the process of demoing the songs. Recording the album with Oscar Dawson was an incredibly collaborative experience. He continued to push us out of our comfort zones which led us to feeling really free creatively. I think this also made us write in our most honest and genuine form.” The album is built around several different flowery interludes, including “Iris,” “Marigold,” “Dahlia,” “Arabella,” and lastly “Violet” that help set the stage for the music that comes flowing after. By creating an authentic record that plays into a sound similar to bands like The Aces, Wolf Alice, and The 1975, Eliza & The Delusionals prove that they are here to stay.

It is my utmost pleasure to introduce the world to Eliza and the Delusionals, the four-piece alternative rock band from Australia that fits well in the same vein as Beabadoobee, Soccer Mommy, and Wolf Alice. The band is comprised of Eliza Klatt (singer and sometimes guitar), Kurt Skuse (guitarist), Ashley “Tex” Martin (guitarist), and Ruby Lee (bassist). The band has previously released two EPs (most recently 2020’s A State of Living in an Objective Reality), but this latest record called Now and Then sets the clear path forward of where these musicians can take their sound next. The band mentioned that the record is a direct reflection of the world we’re living in currently, and the relatable struggles we all have with maintaining our mental health while dealing with COVID restrictions. The future looks incredibly bright for this talented band.
