Frenchy and The Punk
Midnight Garden
Available on CD, Vinyl or Download

Our first pick today in The 2024 PopCult Gift Guide is Midnight Garden,  the latest album by our friends, Frenchy & The Punk. Just released in June, this epic post-punk masterpiece with goth, surf and New Wave inclinations has already become a Radio Free Charleston favorite.

I’ve played every track on this album, some of them more than once.

If you have a fan of Siouxsie and The Banshees on your shopping list, this is perfect for them, but anybody who loves good, alternative music will enjoy the hell out of this album.

If you want a taste, check out this music video…

Full disclosure time here: I’ve been a fan of Frenchy & The Punk for over fifteen years, back to when they used a different name, and they’ve even crashed at my house when they were in town playing a gig. That doesn’t change the fact that they make powerful, independent music that connects on a unique level.

Midnight Garden is packed with nine powerful songs that will take your soul to a dark cabaret and ply you with ubernatural enticements.

You can order Midnight Garden as a CD on Blue Vinyl, or if you don’t care about wrapping it, you can download it from Bandcamp (maybe wait until Bandcamp Friday so they get to keep all the proceeds). If you’re already a fan, or got hooked by the video, maybe check out their merch, while you’re at it. It makes a fantastic gift for the discriminating musicologist on your holiday shopping list.
