André Drage – Wolves (2025)

“Compared to the lush electronic and instrumental waves of Journeyman, his next album Wolves showcases an entirely new and ferocious approach to his trademark sound. Packed with complex, experimental, and intensely rhythmic rock like that found in the highly influential music of King Crimson and Frank Zappa, it also trawls through the dustier crates of prog rock history. Fans of late ’60s and ’70s outliers will find plenty to love from the heavy acid grooves of Amon Düül II to the intricate, jazz infused guitar work and shifting time signatures of The Mahavishnu Orchestra.”

Edena Gardens – Dispossessed (2025)

“Edena Gardens return with Dispossessed, a record that strips everything back to instinct and atmosphere. Captured in a single studio session at Causa Sui’s Jonas Munk’s Odense base, this is the first time the trio played together since 2023’s Dens. The results channel shifting tempos, heavy riffage, and moments of meditative stillness into something raw yet cohesive. From the sludgy propulsion of opener ‘Hiraeth’ to the glacial, ten-minute closer ‘Aftenstjerne’, the record charts an unbroken arc of first-take improvisation, shaped only slightly by drummer Jakob Skøtt in post. Every dubbed texture stems from the same day’s recordings, preserving the chemistry between Skøtt (also of Causa Sui), guitarist Nicklas Sørensen (Papir), and bassist/baritone guitarist Martin Rude (London Odense Ensemble).”

Kronstad 23 – Sommermørket (2025)

“Something is brewing in the state of Norway! Kronstad 23 are the latest trailblazers from northern Scandinavia: a creative force exploring the boundaries of musical genres, including but not limited to: psych rock, jazz, post-rock & scandinavian folk music. The group of young players follows the footsteps of Motorpsycho, Elephant9 & El Paraiso’s own Lotus, Fra Det Onde & Kanaan, carving out their path through the musical landscape in seemingly effortless ways! One minute you’re floating on cosmic Pharoah Sanders waters, the next you’re ascending on electrified if-Tortoise-played-Allman Brothers-style jamming.”

Causa Sui – Loppen 2024 (2025)

“Hidden in the liner notes of Causa Sui’s new live album lies an invitation to join the Danish purveyors of expansive psychedelic jams for a midnight feast at Copenhagen’s legendary Loppen venue. Recorded in the heart of freetown Christiania, a place where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur like the edges of a particularly good dream, the band’s performance is a testament to their two decades of sonic exploration… This is Causa Sui at their most free-flowing and spontaneous, a band that’s clearly as comfortable in the live setting as they are in the studio. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best music is the kind that’s created in the moment.”
