'Garden of Hera' by OGENE vinyl

Vinyl record, complete with lyrics & credits in booklet. Every LP has a unique pattern, as if carved from a tree.

OGENE's first concept album, inspired by the Hesperides.

In Greek mythology, Hesperides were thought of as goddesses of the evening, particularly associated with sunsets. These sisters-nymphs became well-known for their beautiful singing. They brought in the “golden hour”,  a transition from day to night. 

They were also given a specific role within Ancient Greece... for the sisters were considered to be the guardians of the Garden of Hera. The garden was sacred to Goddess Hera and housed the tree of the Golden Apples.

The album consists of a unique mix of genres with timeless topics, sprinkled with hints to the overall theme. You can find these details in string melodies, lyrical metaphors but mostly, vocal harmonies.

“ This album is the product of our hearts beating as one. The songs grew and flourished out of our dreams, crying-sessions, bursts of laughter, moments of despair and in ultimate joy.

We discovered a new level of love for music while working together on the project.It was necessary for us to create, in order to bond with our own true self as artists & individuals, and we are now ready to share it with the world. “
