Smoke And Mirrors

The debut album created by The Eden House project based around core members Tony Pettitt (Fields Of The Nephilim, Rubicon, NFD) and Stephen Carey (Adoration, This Burning Effigy, NFD), which really is more of a "super group" than a band. The Eden House however, are more than just the music; they are the myriad of guest musicians and vocalists who are seamlessly stitched together by Stephen Carey and mastered & engineered by Andy Jackson (studio gremlin of T’Floyd). The pieces are partly worn, but never elongated, very detailed and exciting arrangements, often lascivious especially due to the emphasis on very delicate and pleasantly restrained vocals. With vocals by Monica Richards (Faith And The Muse), Julianne Regan (All About Eve), Evi Vine (Eve Vine Band) and Amandine Ferrari, gradually, you’ll sink into the music and find your-self torn between loud, harsh rugged guitar and then gentler pieces which all have a driving intensity that stretches throughout the whole album. Smoke And Mirrors is an album that stands out, and whoever wants to hear Gothic Rock from a quieter side and likes to listen to bands like Faith And The Muse, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil or Kate Bush, are certainly in very good hands. One of the best albums of 2009.
