Living Textures : A Musical Conversation With Causa Sui

by J. Hubner Photos courtesy of El Paraiso Archives A little over two years ago a friend pointed me in the direction of Copenhagen, Denmark. That friend said “Head east, and ye shall find the rock.” I wasn’t sure what that meant as my friend rarely said things like “ye” and “head”, but I […]

Mythic Sunship : Ouroboros

Copenhagen’s Mythic Sunship dabble in a raw kind of free form jamming that gazes into the heart of the sun, and then goes full force into the blazing star’s fiery center. There’s no smoothing out the rough edges with these guys. There’s no breezy synth textures or ambient head space created on their debut titled […]

Jakob Skott : All The Colours Of The Dust

If you didn’t know it by now, then I’m here to tell you that Jakob Skott is one of the premier drummers working today.He’s based in Denmark, so maybe you guys and gals chilling in your Midwest casa or East Coast domicile may not be aware of the man. But you should make yourself aware, […]

New Tune : Jakob Skott’s “The Variable”

So not only does one of my favorite bands drop a new album this past Friday, their drummer is readying a new album for the end of April. Holy moly! Causa Sui have just released their new record, the mammoth chunk of molten rock called Return To Sky. That album is the grittiest, rawest form […]

Causa Sui : Return To Sky

There’s only a few instrumental outfits these days that pack as big a sonic punch as Causa Sui. These four guys from Denmark have been making trippy, mind-altering rock and roll for a few years now, and every time out they up their musical game a bit. They go from psychedelic, acid-fried drone(Pewt’r Sessions 3) […]

Nicklas Sorensen : Solo

Sometimes there’s nothing better than finding that perfect daydream record. That record you put on, throw on some headphones, and then just close your eyes for the duration and let your mind wander. Or that album you throw on in the car for that wind in your hair and sun in your rear view road […]

Shiggajon : Sela

It’s hard to describe what’s going on within the grooves of Shiggajon’s Sela. It’s hard to describe Shiggajon. Okay, not really. Shiggajon is a Danish music collective that makes music you might hear prior to the Rapture happening. Or moments before aliens descend onto this planet. Or possibly what you hear in your head during […]

Papir : Live At Roadburn

I think every great psych/stoner/space rock band have at least one similar goal, and that goal is to play the Roadburn Festival. It’s a music festival that takes place every year in the Netherlands, and like so many other great alternative rock festivals around the world(Austin Psych Fest and Liverpool Psych Fest come to mind), […]

Jonas Munk : Absorb Fabric Cascade

Jonas Munk has very few contemporaries exploring aural landscapes in quite the same way that he does. He seems to create musical canvases that are labyrinthine in scope; yet still as intimate as a warm embrace. His first solo outing, Pan, was warm and bubbling. It floated along a cloud of analog synth chugs and […]

“Something Unimagined” : Jakob Skott Talks Taurus Rising and Future Horizons

Way back in July of 2014 I was lucky enough to sit down and pick the brain of Causa Sui drummer and sound wizard Jakob Skott about his excellent albums Doppler and Amor Fati, as well as his work with Causa Sui. We also discussed running his own record label, El Paraiso Records, along with […]
