about

The second track from Eden's debut album due on Local Action later this year, 'The Local' follows July's 'Madonna'.

In Eden's words: "The Local was a bar in my neighbourhood back in Toronto, when producer Ryan Pierre lived down the street from me. The song captures the feeling of a summer night romance, but it’s also a love letter to the friendships I carry with me from home, as well as new ones made after moving to London. Shanti [Celeste] and Serena [Peach] were some of the first friends who welcomed us after moving to the UK, so it felt like a celebration of that to have them co-produce this track."

From Canada but based in London, Eden grew up writing folk songs and performing in the theatre before pursuing her love of dance music after a formative trip to Europe.

Although her one previous solo EP, 2019’s self-released DAYS found radio and playlist support in Canada and the UK, it was last year when Eden caught the ears of most - collaborating with Loraine James on ‘Running Like That’, a highlight of James’ acclaimed second album Reflection, and voicing Parris’s underground anthem ‘Skater’s World’.

Two of 2021’s most ubiquitous electronic records, they earned acclaim from Pitchfork, The Guardian, DJ Mag, Crack, Rolling Stone and more. She also turned heads with her remarkable ‘Pop Patrol’ mixtape for Peach’s NTS Radio show, a 60-minute mixtape featuring Eden’s vocals over music from dance artists like Ikonika, Andres and DJ Koze.

Gorgeous album, keep going back to it. Hard to pick a favorite track because it's one of those where my favorite is whatever happens to be playing at that moment. energydiluted

Burial fully realises the ambient aspects of his work that he has been leaning towards over the past few years. Whether you like it or not, you can't deny that this is undeniably Burial. Kutkh_Jackdaw

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
