Dispossessed [CD]

Edena Gardens - Dispossessed [CD]

Stripping away excess layers, Dispossessed lives up to its title. The band went into Causa Sui's Jonas Munk's studio on the last day of February 2025. In an a priori session, the first note played together since 2023's Dens (EPR 075CD) -- the conclusion of a trilogy and a live album all in less than a year. Has something shifted during the silence? Added aggression? Faster tempo? Darker ambiance? The feeling of losing time? Or is it simply the listener whose world has tilted? In a fast-paced world, Edena Gardens shows listeners how to resist and tune to their own inner chord. Edena Gardens deals in subtle shifts that can only be summoned from something played for the first time. From the sludgy blasts of opener "Hiraeth" to the droning ambience of 10-minute ender "Aftenstjerne." As always, the band travels far yet stays in the same internal realm. The band's own Jakob Skøtt has made minor edits to cut a record from hours of free improvisation, and every dubbed ambience has been culled directly from the material recorded that day, bringing into play the band's gestalt in a way that shows their both outer and inner workings: Dispossessed. Edena Gardens is: Jakob Skøtt: drums (Causa Sui); Nicklas Sørensen: guitar (Papir); Martin Rude: baritone guitar and bass (London Odense Ensemble). 01. Hiraeth_x000D_ 02. Fills The Well_x000D_ 03.
