EDEN – Ghost In the Shell

TRACK OF THE WEEK

Acclaimed Irish artist EDEN is back this week with our track of the week, and honestly, it’s one of the best releases we’ve come across in quite some time.

‘Ghost in the Shell’ is a refreshingly experimental electronic pop song that carries with it essences of both melancholy and joy in a thoughtful and balanced way. The sound is unexpected and intriguing but also sincere and emotional.

“‘Ghost in the Shell’ was written on my tour bus in 2023. i remember having this crushing feeling of wanting something so badly that could never happen. i was overwhelmed. we all love things that cant/don’t love us back.

EDEN is currently readying the release of his next album, ‘Dark,’ which is scheduled for release later this year. EDEN’s work has recently garnered praise from the likes of Fault and Hotpress, showing that this talent is still as highly regarded and loved as ever.

Track of the week. A master of many talents, EDEN is not only a singer but also producer, label head, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who has been on our radar since 2016.

Throughout the years, this Dublin-bred artist’s work has evolved exceptionally – with his latest single, ‘Modern Warfare’ being nothing short of perfection.

The song marks EDEN’s return to the spotlight since the release of his 2020 project ‘no future’, and features a production that is conceptually experimental and refreshingly future-forward.

“This song is a meditation on the blurred lines between life and interaction online and irl, there was a time where I had rejected certain aspects of social life by refusing to use the tools of our time, and modern warfare came after a period of reintegration. There is a sense of maturity coming into these spaces and situations after time away, despite how urgent everything can feel. An ability to not be dragged into the reactionary anxiety that is so often associated with social media. This is not to say that there isn’t plenty of anxiety to be found elsewhere – just that knowing what you want from things is a helpful way to avoid getting rekt. Water off a digital duck’s back.”

With support from the likes of Billboard, CLASH and V Man, this may well be EDEN’s biggest year so far.
