Editor’s Note: Today’s edition of RecommNeds is the 150th written and shared by Aaron “Neddy” Stein. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank Neddy for the hundreds of amazing recommendations he’s shared over the past few years and for all of his hard work.
Causa Sui: Return To Sky
Alright, time to stop f’in around and get to the good stash. This week I’ve got three sick new releases from RecommNed favorite, the El Paraiso label. Anyone who’s followed this column or the @neddyo Twitter feed knows I’m obsessed with label anchor Causa Sui and the Danish jam-slayers are back and as good as ever on Return To Sky. Give this one about three minutes to fully kick in and you’ll be hooked. Somewhere between Black Sabbath and dark-Tweezer Phish with a whole lotta choose-your-influence’s thrown in, this is five tracks of nasty, nasty, nasty. Please join me in the bring-Causa-Sui-to-the-US club and until they do come, enjoy what is, unsurprisingly one of my favorite albums of 2016 so far.
Jakob Scott: All The Colours Of The Dust
Besides killer, open-ended tunes with a unique label-wide feel, El Paraiso provides equally trippy album artwork. Just check out the cover to the new album from Jakob Skott, All The Colours Of The Dust. Skott is the drummer in Causa Sui and this one is a psychedelic combination of his take-no-prisoners drumming and mind-bending synthesizer action. All The Colours Of The Dust is some intense ear candy of the both loud and layered variety, so get your good headphones out and enjoy.
Mythic Sunship:
Finally, their most recent release is a newcomer to the label, Mythic Sunship, another Copenhagen band that shares a musical worldview with Causa Sui. Their debut album, Ouroboros, is…well, it’s really hard to believe it’s a debut album, that’s for sure! Over three lengthy tracks, the band delivers some high-octane, hair-raising jams that can hang with the best of them. All three start at about max capacity and find ways to build from there, while undergoing all sorts of explorations and transformations. Like the other two albums for this week, this Ouroboros is not for the faint of heart…but I think you can handle it.
