“un chien andalou” is a 1929 surrealist short and the first film by luis buñuel and salvador dalí. without a plot in the conventional sense, the film uses dream logic as a narrative, a free association presenting a series of tenuously related scenes. 

the institute for incoherent cinematography (IOIC) is a zürich-based association whose mission is to support silent movies as well as their setting to contemporary live music. 

in october 2021 the IOIC asked dave phillips to set music to “un chien andalou” as part of the 23rd edition of “videoex”, a zürich festival dedicated to experimental film and video creation in a cinematographic setting.

un chien andalou (soundtrack) 'vers trois heures le matin/seize ans avant'

Beery Samantha
I miss the subtle intention of your smile
Surrender the sender and settle down the bar
Before the day gets tired
I’ve seen the sidings where you've been
I’ve seen…

The Yorkshire riding
The sadness stone

Oh Beery Samantha 
I think it's cooler to be colder
If you're closer to the North Sea gloom
Eerie Samantha I think it's bolder to be older
And still not submit to
The dickheads
Who'd subsume you

I miss the songbird elation 
Of your eyes
Of your eyes

First single off their 2nd album, Agar, out on El Paraiso Records April 7th, 2023.

On their 2nd album, Edena Gardens manifests itself as a permanent fixture in the El Paraiso catalogue. 

Edena Gardens could have flickered and disappeared in true El Paraiso fashion with a single session album, but the trio emerges with both a new studio album as well as a live album (Live Momentum). It’s part of the band's DNA: it contains multitudes. There’s always a variation or open path, shifting with ease from heady cosmic stoner folk-vibes, to the scorched earth of 12-minute centrepiece Veil. Halcyon Days opens up a panoramic interlude of beautiful analogue warmth, while closer Crescent Helix opens in full free-jazz mode, only to travel into an endless crescendo of alt. rock proportions rarely found on this side of the 90's. 

Somehow, Edena Gardens combines the sum of it’s multifaceted parts in a unified way, Perhaps due to Causa Sui drummer Jakob Skøtt’s transparent edits and layered treatments. Or perhaps the trio's level of experience and joy of playing simply connects whatever direction they pursue - Nicklas Sørensen of Papir’s glistering guitar lines, backed up by Martin Rude’s rumbling Baritone guitar strums or solid basslines. It’s an album that showcases not only the spontaneous paths taken but also the vast well of ideas or sounds only implied or briefly touched upon, creating an aggregation of sounds just out of reach.

Welcome back to Edena Gardens.
