El Paraiso Denmark Vinilo y CD

Review: Edena Gardens makes another bold statement with their second studio album. The talented trio has not only written this new album but also a new live album that unveils the very DNA of their collective. The move with style and grace from stoned and cosmic folk inflected vibes to the more intense 12-minute centre piece 'Veil.' There is a real analogue warmth to much of this material as well s plenty of free-jazz radicalism with the likes of final tune 'Crescent Helix' which eventually becomes a fiery alt rock roller. All in all, Nicklas Sorensen glistering guitar, Martin Rude's Baritone guitar and drummer Jakob Skott have cooked up real magic here.

Review: Papir and Cause Sui members Martin Rude and Jakob Skott are Edena Gardens, an innovative post-rock group that only this month is dropping new album Agar - a bold statement and second studio long player that ranges from stoned and cosmic folk to intensive rock epics. This new live album is another fine showing that invites you to explore and tease apart the band's DNA as they work through the centre piece of that album, 'Veil' as well as two tracks from previous albums. It's raw, expressive and immersive rock.

Review: Ask Vatn Strom, Eskild Myrvoll and Ingvald Vassbo are hardly the kind of trio you can take lightly. The Norwegian heads blew many of us away with their 2018 debut album, 'Windborne', and seem intent on continuing to deliver the same powerhouse fare on this next long form offering. Psychedelic progressive rock fusion is one label that has been used in the past, and we'd struggle to summarise the work better. Comprising six grand and ambitious tracks, it's easy to start reaching for jazz-y references given the freeform feel of this collection.'"Shades Of Yes' are just about audible on opener 'Worlds Together', the appropriately titled 'Mountain' is a huge affair that grows and builds to a staggering scale, while the likes of 'Worlds Apart' reveal Kanaan's ability to deliver bonafide steel and concrete heaviness with those guitars.
