A radiant alt-pop gem that’s ultra-romantic.
Raynes, a British-American trio formed by North Dakota natives Mat Charley and Joe Berger alongside UK vocalist Mark Race, continues to push creative boundaries with their latest release, “Your Mouth Is a Garden.” Discovered through Instagram, Race joined the group to complete a lineup known for rich vocal harmonies, poetic lyricism, and a genre-fluid sound that draws from folk, rock, Celtic, and chamber pop influences.
Since signing with Sony Music Publishing, Raynes has earned critical attention from Billboard, People, and a growing global fanbase—with tens of millions of streams and hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners.
Their newest single, “Your Mouth Is a Garden,” is a lush, emotionally resonant piece of alt-pop storytelling, featuring warm folk-inspired instrumentation and a shimmering, melodic rhythm section. The track’s evocative lyrics paint a vivid picture of deep romantic longing and intimate connection, with lines like “I can feel your heart, in the shudder of your skin, And your mouth is a garden, I’m tumbling in.”
Paired with passion-filled vocals and an equally beautiful official lyric video, this single feels both timeless and modern—a sonic love letter with glowing emotional depth.
Whether you’re a longtime Raynes fan or new to their sound, “Your Mouth Is a Garden” is a track that deserves your full attention. It’s bold, heartfelt, and beautifully executed.
