About the Album
The debut EP from YES WE ARE, Into This Garden, is a deeply personal exploration of the human journey from loneliness to belonging.
The band collaborated with a number of talented studio artists to bring their vision to life, working carefully with each artist to have them contribute what was important to them to ground the project in authenticity and shared creativity.
Each track offers something unique, yet together they create something whole: a garden where everyone is welcome.
