Gardens & Villa have announced they will be touring this fall with Poliça. To celebrate, the bands have release G&V's remix of the Poliça track "The Maker," up now at SPIN.    Listen to "The Maker" (Gardens & Villa Remix)   Over the next few months the band will be touring like crazy with stops at Musicfest NW, KBZT's Independence Jam (where they'll share the bill with Fiona Apple), and Counterpoint Festival in Atlanta before heading out on their US run with Poliça. G&V will also hit up Austin City Limits in October.   The guys managed to find time in their relentless touring schedule to record their take on the classic "Gypsy" for Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute To Fleetwood Mac (out August 14). G&V infuse the track with synths and dusky vocals bringing forward an otherworldly, mystic quality we're sure Stevie would honor with a drape of black lace. As band member Adam Rasmussen says, "['Gypsy' is] sensitive and timeless. Recording it was a beautiful experience. We’re really thankful for this opportunity."   Listen to Gardens & Villa Cover "Gypsy" A full set of tour dates are listed below. And don't miss the band's Spotify playlist "Lights Off, Candles Burning" for instant chill out tunes.
	"Charming, bouncy alt-pop, like old psychedelic Nuggets gems given an electropop work-over"-TIME OUT NY "The sparse but tight production, relying mostly on fat synthesizers and drum machines with a few twists here and there, dispenses a lighthearted Britpop vibe while also recalling early-'80s R&B... Wide eyed and fresh-faced, Gardens & Villa takes on the natural world with relish" -NPR "Immediately intoxicating" -NYLON "Ideal for summertime strolls through a cemetery" -PITCHFORK "Gardens & Villa may spend a lot of time outdoors, but they're probably listening to Human League on headphones as they tiptoe through the thorns" -BLURT MAGAZINE
