As Long as You Come to My Garden is the first album by the Italian experimental duo Damāvand, released in 2023 by the label Die Schachtel.
Critical reception As Long as You Come to My Garden was well received by the music press, with some enthusiastic reviews. The New Noise defined it as "one of the most exciting debuts not only of the Die Schachtel label, but of the entire panorama of new Italian creative music".
Richard Allen on A Closer Listen says "The video teaser for Damāvand's As Long as You Come to My Garden provides an electronic impression, while the album itself is a blend of dark ambient, drone and experimental flavors."
Mirco Salvadori on Rockerilla defined it as "work of fascinating complexity".
