The band has released a new video for their single "Lately" featuring vocals from Brian Aubert (Silversun Pickups) and Butch Vig (Garbage), which were recorded and produced at Butch’s home in Los Angeles. Watch the video HERE.

Conceptualized during their North American tour in 2022, Make it Feel Like The Garden was born from guitarist Kurt's impromptu acoustic guitar sessions and voice memos. The creative journey continued in their DIY studio in Napa, California, and culminated with recording sessions with acclaimed producer Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, CLEWS, Amy Shark) in Rye, Victoria.

Describing the process, Eliza reflects, “It was fascinating to see how working in a new environment, far from our home studio and Australia, influenced our writing and demoing process. Working with Oscar Dawson was incredibly collaborative—he pushed us beyond our comfort zones, allowing us to explore our creativity more freely. This led to some of our most honest and genuine writing.”

A central theme of the album is its visual representation. Kurt envisioned creating a vibrant, immersive world around the garden concept—a lush, floral escape that complements the album’s themes. “I wanted to build a liveable garden that represents each track from the album, a place you could almost 'check-into' while listening to the record,” Kurt explains. “The Garden is where we spent most of our time creating this album, so we aimed to bring it to life through the visuals.”

The band enlisted Brisbane videographer and 3D designer Tom Carroll (@egumei) to bring Kurt’s garden concept to life. Eliza shares, “Seeing the visual elements come together was amazing. Tom’s interpretation of the Garden was incredible. Visuals are crucial for us, and we always aim to push boundaries. Kurt’s imaginative ideas really came to life, and it’s been fantastic to see them realized.”

Make It Feel Like The Garden invites listeners to escape to a dreamlike realm, offering a personal retreat filled with moments and memories that evoke perfect places and feelings. The album’s universal appeal lies in its ability to resonate uniquely with each listener, mirroring the individuality of every garden.

Eliza reflects on the album's impact: “This album holds a special place in my heart. The entire journey—from writing to recording to creating the visuals—has been extraordinary. It’s pushed my boundaries as a songwriter and showcased the band’s true essence. I hope our fans, old and new, will fall in love with it as much as I have over the past year.”

Kurt adds, “Make It Feel Like The Garden is more than an album; it’s an invitation to explore our vision of a garden—a place for personal reflection, solace, and inspiration amidst life’s chaos. It’s a journey of the senses and emotions, illustrating the transformative power of music.”

Make It Feel Like The Garden stands as a testament to Eliza and the Delusionals’ artistic evolution. It’s not just a collection of songs but a sanctuary for the soul, a soundtrack to cherished moments, and a refuge from the world’s chaos.
