New album, “Our Road To Dust”, out on May 9th!
Hailed as a “a great example of contemporary Progressive Rock” by Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, EDENSONG has delighted audiences throughout the US and abroad with their genre-bending blend: a hard driving rhythm section, flute playing that ranges from serenely melodic to avant-garde, lush vocal harmonies, and more than a touch of orchestral ambition. They have supported diverse acts including Kings X, Ozric Tentacles, Pain Of Salvation, Neal Morse Band, and Anglagard, and have headlined their own tours throughout the US, UK, and Canada.
EDENSONG now returns with their long-awaited new album Our Road To Dust in 2025, their first since releasing the critically adored Years In The Garden Of Years in 2016. Their first album to be crafted as a quartet, the record embodies the ambitious, detailed, and eclectic sound they have cultivated over the years, but is far heavier, more focused, and full of infectious melodic hooks.
With additional recording, sound design and production elements handled from allies across New York, London, and more, Our Road To Dust was produced and recorded by James Byron Schoen at Firecat Audio in New York City, and mixed by Johan Martin/mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden (Katatonia, Opeth, Amorphis). The record is completed with photography by Kelly Robertson and artwork by Nate Dorr and Ben Wigler.
EDENSONG James Schoen offers, “This album marks a time of deep change for the band, both personally and sonically, and Our Road To Dust is the thread that binds us to our past. It’s a song about getting older, losing loved ones, and the death of a dream, but also about brotherhood, taking stock of what really matters, and choosing – perhaps misguidedly – to keep traveling that dusty road. Oh, and there are plenty of odd meters and polyrhythms and other proggy nonsense along the way…”
