gardens & villa

Some band names take on a talismanic quality, revealing mystical depths the musicians may never have intended. For Gardens & Villa, the name became downright prophetic. The quartet of Chris Lynch, Adam Rasmussen, Shane McKillop, and Dustin Ineman, took their moniker from Villa Avenue, where they first shared a home – and a garden – in Santa Barbara, California. A decade and a half later, the band is set to release Ultra Terrestrial, a record that highlights Gardens & Villa’s expansive growth and familial bonds.
