Causa Sui to Release Loppen 2021 Live Album; Preorders Up & Song Posted
Immediate no brainer. New Causa Sui live album. Done. Fine. It exists? Great, I want to hear it. The Danish heavy psych mainstays will release Loppen 2021 through their own El Paraiso Records imprint on Sept. 29 — which is this friggin’ month! — and even before you get to the part about the band ‘exploring eight epic fan-favourites’ or the record presenting some of the band’s ‘heaviest, most psychedelic tunes’ or the fact that it was recorded at Loppen in the semi-anarchist Christiania area of Copenhagen just post-lockdown, there’s enough here to motivate based on concept alone. Causa Sui, doing a thing. Yes, you can go ahead and sign me up for that.
This came in with the Futuropaco news that went up yesterday, but I wanted to give each thing its own space. If you’re a Causa Sui fan, I have to think you’ve already clicked off to go preorder the thing, or at least stopped reading to check out the track at the bottom of this post. In any case, I don’t blame you. Onward.
From the PR wire:
Catalog number: EPR073LP
Format: 2LP (1000 copies on coloured “ecomix” vinyl, includes download card)
Release date: September 29th 2023
Pre-order LP: https://elparaisorecords.com/product/causa-sui-loppen-2021/
Double LP set capturing some of Causa Sui’s heaviest, most psychedelic tunes recorded live at Loppen – a legendary Copenhagen venue, located in the famous – and infamous – Freetown Christiania commune. This is the sound of Causa Sui at their home turf, stretching out and exploring eight epic fan-favourites from their entire catalogue in front of a small crowd of 400 people in a packed sold-out venue. The show was recorded the first week that Covid restrictions were lifted on venues in Denmark, which called for an especially buzzing night, even for a band that has exclusively played no more than a handful of shows each year since their 2005 debut.
Each Causa Sui show is unique. Here we’re offered a different perspective of the band’s music – it’s looser, more free-flowing, and some tracks are warped into something far from their original versions, bouncing off the wooden beams on the low ceiling of Loppen with renewed energy. At one point you can hear the band calling to take a breather and let some air inside the sauna-like temperature of the show, which just weeks before seemed impossible. Loppen 2021 offers a complete set from start to finish, so since chances that you’ll catch the band live in person are slim, this is the next best thing.
Mixed and mastered by Jonas Munk. Edition of 1000 copies on coloured ecomix vinyl. Includes download card.
