Music News - Eden Iris Releases Debut Album: The Fuchsia & The Grey
09 April 2021 - 0 Comments
The Fuchsia & The Grey is the debut album by New Zealand artist Eden Iris, who has been described as “an artist who is always in a tune of her own” (Come Here Floyd). The album is available worldwide April 9th and explores Eden’s compelling range as a musician and a storyteller. It is a hauntingly sweet pocket of authentic indie-folk which she has discovered and made her home.
The Fuschia & The Grey follows the release of her Demons EP in 2018, and similarly to the EP, the album was recorded almost entirely by Eden in her home studio in Burbank, California. With the exception of Worse Things produced by Maia Sharp, and Blue Home produced by Sophie Stern, all of the songs were performed and produced/co-produced by Eden with her longtime collaborators Jess Harlen and Alex Ellsworth.
One of Eden’s strengths is that she is not afraid to dance with her blues. Perhaps the boldest song on the album is the opening track, Death is a Teacher, an unusual and uplifting anthem for grief. The song took Iris several years to write and is a mystical and vulnerable account of Iris having several friends pass away over the last few years. In the song’s lyrics, Eden personifies death as a teacher who visits her from time to time: “When she’s at my door, I greet her with my head hung low”.
Eden has been growing her fanbase with a steady release of singles in between major projects, ever since moving to Los Angeles when she was nineteen years-old to pursue her musical career. She was recently awarded the Folk/Acoustic Act of the year (2020) by independent U.K. radio station Radio Wigwam. In Los Angeles she continues to receive strong support from the local radio station 88.5 KCSN, with several DJs such as Nic Harcourt playing many of her singles released in 2019/2020. The Fuchsia & The Grey showcases the evolution of an artist who is highly dedicated to her craft.
