Edena Gardens : Agar

Last year our ears and minds were blessed with the release of Edena Gardens’ debut self-titled release. The trio is a supergroup of sorts; Nicklas Sørensen(guitar), Martin Rude(guitar, bass), and Jakob Skøtt(drums, percussion) are all involved in major creative forces musically, including Causa Sui, Videodrones, Papir, Sun River, as well as Martin Rude Jakob Skøtt […]

Edena Gardens : Live Momentum

Live albums have been a staple of late night spins since the dawn of the bean bag chair. Basements across the globe set up with decent hi-fi stereos, Hendrix wall tapestries, and a mellow haze in the air have welcomed sleepy-eyed listeners in their warm yet dank embrace. Cheap Trick’s Live At Budokon, KISS’ Alive, […]

Edena Gardens Unleashes “Hidebound”; Debut Album Drops In October On El Paraiso REcords

Listening to Edena Gardens brand new single “Hidebound” I feel as if I’m being carried away in some cosmic slipstream. It’s a slow drift of a song that lives in glorious 70s Komische light; touches of echoing guitar, psychedelic keys, and a rolling, endless groove of percussion. The cosmos passes by as you stare out […]

Odense Vibes : 11 Years Of El Paraiso Records Part IV(Collaborations)

Over the years there have been some truly great collaborative albums between members of Causa Sui and other amazing, like-minded artists. Albums that El Paraiso Records offered up to the universe so we could partake in those magical vibes as well. These albums stand for what El Paraiso was created for in the first place, […]

Nicklas Sørensen : Live

Guitarist Nicklas Sørensen comes at the guitar in a very unique way. He paints these vibes out of thin air; he builds cavernous soundscapes and sound fortresses with his instrument. For sure Sørensen can blow the roof off the joint with his red Stratocaster in his psych/prog trio Papir. He can riff and blow minds […]

Pattern Music : A Conversation With Jonas Munk and Nicklas Sørensen

For the past several years musicians Jonas Munk and Nicklas Sørensen have had a productive collaboration going. Munk, who is co-runner of record label El Paraiso Records(as well as playing guitar in Causa Sui and releasing electronic music under the Manual moniker and under his own name), produced Sørensen’s first two solo LPs(titled Solo 1 […]

Jonas Munk & Nicklas Sorensen : Always Already Here

I spent the afternoon in some musty old record shop on a nondescript side street for an afternoon deep dive into gatefold sleeves and incense-laced air. Checking the “electronic” bin I come across cats like Cluster, Kluster, Tangerine Dream, Terry Riley, Klaus Schulze, and Jonas Munk & Nicklas Sorensen. Jonas Munk and Nicklas Sorensen? Never […]

Jonas Munk and Nicklas Sørensen Ready ‘Always Already Here’; Check Out The Hypnotic “Shift”

Jonas Munk and Nicklas Sørensen have been working together for a few years now. First, with Munk engineering three albums by Sørensen’s main gig, Papir. Then producing and working on Solo and Solo 2, Nicklas’ first two solo records. The two then began playing partially improvised synth/guitar shows together. These sonic excursions became the basis […]

Improvisation For A Day : Nicklas Sorensen Talks Side Project A2

If Nicklas Sorensen isn’t melting minds in main gig Papir, then he might be in the studio laying down crystalline guitar tracks with Causa Sui’s Jonas Munk for a solo album. Or, if he’s doing neither of those things Nicklas could very well be holing up in a studio for a day creating improvisational, free-form […]

Going Sølo : Nicklas Sørensen Talks Influences, Scat, and His New Solo LP

If you’re familiar with the Danish rockers Papir, then you’re quite familiar with Nicklas Sørensen. Sørensen is the guitarist for the three-piece psych rock outfit out of Copenhagen. His style is fluid, groove-filled and nuanced. He can go from heady post-rock passages that float on crystalline clouds to buzzing, fuzzed-out freak outs at the drop of a […]
