The Canadian sisterly groyn-core outfit THE GARRYS have released a new single titled ‘Cakewalk,’ accompanied by a fresh music video, out now via Grey Records.
The Garrys, named after their father, were established in early 2015, and originate from the chilliest corner of remotest Canada.
Their low-fidelity album Warm Buds, released in 2016, marked the beginning of the band’s characteristicly opaque and slightly wooze-eyed exploration into cinematic garage-surf sound.
Since, the trio of girls invited their brother Matthew Maier to join in the fun, but not until the release of the group’s most recent album.

Cakewalk is the first song to be released since Lenore, Julie, and Erica Maier enlisted brother Matthew to pick up a guitar in 2021. It’s also the first new music since Get Thee To A Nunnery.
Supported by warm under-thrums, tremolo-heavy guitar, and the band’s trademark surfboard beats, the new song sculpts floating guitar forms with three-part plaits of harmonic ressonance, set beside an accompaniment of surrealistically percussive mumblement.
The number conjures a curious sense of hallucinogenic foreboding and gloomy-dark yearning.
“Cakewalk is the first song we’re releasing that was written by all (four) of us…” explain the band.
“Lyrically, the track explores the nuggets of good advice we’ve all ignored, the existential discomfort of holding multiple truths, and the stoic relief of resignation to an indifferent universe,” they add.
The accompanying music video for ‘Cakewalk’ (shared below) was shot and directed by filmmaker Carey Shaw.
