EDEN has returned, and he’s going all out. Following the mesmerizing haze of "gggiiiiirrrrlllll," the Irish alt-pop innovator explores deeper into his intricate sound labyrinth with "Ghost in the Shell," a track that honors yet surpasses his origins. It's the latest track from his upcoming album, and it represents another journey through the rich, emotionally charged world EDEN is carefully crafting, one layer at a time. "Ghost in the Shell" conveys a subtle, intricately crafted feeling of discomfort. It’s the melody of a spirit gliding through artificial horizons, enveloped in a virtual haze.
Crafted on a sparkling foundation of electro-pop and throbbing synthesizers, the track is rich but intentionally restrained. It merges the distinctions between sadness and joy, pulling you into a realm where the sensation of being adrift has never been so pleasurable. This song possesses a cinematic depth that is further enhanced by its breathtaking music video, directed by Zhang + Knight. Renowned for their surreal, art-centric approach, the visuals turn "Ghost in the Shell" into an engaging experience, a complex narrative that resonates with the reflective and sophisticated essence of the song. EDEN's talent lies in combining experimental sounds with universally relatable songwriting, and here it’s evident he’s becoming increasingly precise with it.
A harmony exists between the unrefined and the polished, and he can navigate that boundary. Eerily intimate whisper vocals are enveloped by rich production that never overwhelms, just accentuates. While it adheres to the alt-pop realm, "Ghost in the Shell" manages to avoid being confined by labels. It's about mood, but primarily about the energy, particularly the spaces between the words and the emotions. It's pop music for those who overthink, crafted by someone who undeniably understands that experience deeply
