El Paraiso

<p>El Paraiso is a Danish label that was established in 2011. It originally served as a direct outlet for Causa Sui's own material and related activities, as well as projects that share the same spirit. The label is currently managed by Jonas Munk and Jakob Skøtt.</p>

<p>Edena Gardens is a Danish psychedelic rock and free improvisation trio. With their unique blend of genres, they create captivating and mind-bending musical experiences. Their music transports listeners to otherworldly realms, combining hypnotic rhythms with ethereal melodies. Edena Gardens' experimental approach to music sets them apart, pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories. Their performances are immersive journeys that leave audiences spellbound. Discover the enchanting sounds of Edena Gardens and let their music take you on a transcendent voyage.</p>

On their second album, Edena Gardens manifests itself as a permanent fixture in the El Paraiso catalogue. Edena Gardens could have flickered and disappeared in true El Paraiso fashion with a single session album, but the trio emerges with both a new studio album as well as a live album (Live Momentum). It’s part of the band's DNA: it contains multitudes. There’s always a variation or open path, shifting with ease from heady cosmic stoner folk-vibes, to the scorched earth of 12-minute centrepiece Veil. Halcyon Days opens up a panoramic interlude of beautiful analogue warmth, while closer Crescent Helix opens in full free-jazz mode, only to travel into an endless crescendo of alt. rock proportions rarely found on this side of the 90's. 

Somehow, Edena Gardens combines the sum of its multifaceted parts in a unified way, Perhaps due to Causa Sui drummer Jakob Skøtt’s transparent edits and layered treatments. Or perhaps the trio's level of experience and joy of playing simply connects whatever direction they pursue - Nicklas Sørensen of Papir’s glistering guitar lines, backed up by Martin Rude’s rumbling Baritone guitar strums or solid basslines. It’s an album that showcases not only the spontaneous paths taken, but also the vast well of ideas or sounds only implied or briefly touched upon, creating an aggregation of sounds just out of reach. Welcome back to Edena Gardens.
