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 Euporie Tide. Yes, the heavy riffs are certainly here, but it’s apparent that it does not tread the waters of ”retro rock”. There’s a different depth here. Whereas previous albums was 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/mid 1990s American grunge and stonerrock bands the band grew up with. From that point of departure Causa Sui goes 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. Whether the band goes for straight up ROCK or ventures into freeform territory there’s always that certain warmth and atmosphere present, which is so characteristic for Causa Sui. When one reaches the multigenre-influenced grooves on the albums D-side 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.
