Since they formed in 2004, Danish instrumental four-piece Causa Sui has become a much revered act on the fertile European psych scene. Many psych- and stoner-rock bands aim for the perfect imitation of that vintage heavy psych sound circa 1970, but Causa Sui have forged their own distinct path. Causa Sui draws on a larger pool than the usual derived exploration of Sabbath riffs and clichéd krautrock jamming. The band always adds untraditional flavours, past and present, into their seething experimental sound. Causa Sui's has been described as "the sound of a giant wave rolling up through the last four decades of rock", which is truer than ever before regarding this latest, and most ambitious album to date, Euporie Tide Whereas previous albums were brewed with spontaneity, and flickers of complete improv, Euporie Tide was meticulously perfected over years of work. Opening track, Homage, pays tribute to the early 1990s American grunge and stoner-rock bands the band grew up with. From that point of departure Causa Sui go on to weave a rich and complex textile, with threads coming from early 1970s electric jazz, post-rock, exotica, heavy rock, raga and all kinds of psychedelia. When one reaches the multigenre-influenced grooves on side 4 it's obvious that the band has arrived at something that is very relevant in the present day. The album was recorded and produced by Jonas Munk, crafting a sound that is simultaneously naturalistic in approach, yet strangely detailed. The album was mastered in a way as to maintain the full dynamic range of the recordings.
