Bam Spacey announce their return with the stunning nine minute techno-meets-dreampop of "Eden"
It's been two years since Sweden's Bam Spacey released debut album 1998 but today Magnus Johansson's project are back with gigantic new track "Eden".
Taken from the album of the same name, "Eden" is a reverb-laden journey across space and time, through the frameworks of pop, shoegaze and techno. Beginning with twanging, almost country-surf guitars "Eden" opens up into a spacious dance motif with a looped heavenly vocal. A melodica takes the track into dub territory before an insistent house thunp carries us to a sombre outtro, sung beautifully in Swedish. Epic - with an undeniable sadness - in so many ways, "Eden" is Bam Spacey at the height of their powers.
Of the track, Johannson tell us "Eden the song is like Eden the album condensed into 9 minutes. We needed a track to make the album complete, and what started out as a 2-minute long instrumental, kind of evolved into this. Couldn’t really tell you how that happened. Our songs usually start out really modest, with a chord, a sound, a lyric, and just grow organically. The overall feeling that drives is though, is the genuine feeling of loss, of emptiness. When you realize something’s gone and it might never come back. The whole album revolves around this feeling. We never like to all out describe the nature of the songs, they’re almost too personal, and finding your own meaning in them is so much more rewarding. But however the listener interprets the song, it’s always going to convey sadness to us."
