Mixing elements of indie rock, shoegaze, and gothic folk, Eden is blending genres to make what she and her collaborator Sumner Erhard affectionately call fuzz folk. It is music for walking home alone to after a party, doom scrolling til the sun comes up, and then driving around your abandoned hometown pretending you're actually going to call your high school best friend. This feeling manifests across 11 tracks on Eden's new LP titled forget what makes it glow. The album evokes real life horror as it channels the not so great memories of religion, nostalgia, love and loss.
"fuzz folk"
- our bass player Jose
"a collection of songs that will certainly have listeners hypnotized as she sings into the void ... a haunting shoegaze dreamscape" - 303 Magazine (named as one of 19 Denver musicians to watch in 2021).
"beautiful and unnerving" - HighClouds
"evolves from folk-based intimacy to textured shoegaze bliss...gorgeous" - Obscure Sound
The intimacy remains, but Eden takes her sound to ethereal heights...lush and intoxicating vocals shine through" - The Revue
"capture a lot of the complexities of being human in musical form...feels timeless" - Taste Culture
"crushing and heartfelt...genuine tracks that make you feel like she is playing for an audience of one."

Isadora Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like i wanted to be
Didn't i say
That i wanted to be
I guess it's easier now
I guess it's easier now
There's gotta be a break
Someday
I don't wanna be left behind
I don't wanna be left behind
I'm numb again
Like i wanted to be
Didn't i say
That i wanted to be
Guess i'd rather feel anything except for just this hollow
But i guess i won't be saying that when i feel bad tomorrow
There's gotta be a break
Someday
I don't wanna be left behind
I don't wanna be the person i felt leaving who could only look back
I don't wanna be left behind
And i guess it's true
Nothing's ever good enough until it's gone
And it's not new
To run around in circles and pretend you're moving on
The lyrics to Isadora Eden's Anhedonia depict a sense of isolation and detachment from the world. The singer expresses that they are alone again, and though this is something they had wanted, it seems that it comes with a hollow feeling that they struggle to fill. The repeated phrase "Didn't I say that I wanted to be" conveys a sense of uncertainty and questioning, as if the singer is unsure of what they truly want. They acknowledge that being numb may be more comfortable, but they also express a desire to feel something, anything, even if it means experiencing negative emotions.
The chorus of the song declares that there must be a break someday, indicating a sense of hope for the future. The singer fears being left behind and becoming someone who can only look back at their lost opportunities. The final lines of the song suggest a cycle of stagnation and pretending to move forward, perhaps indicating a struggle with depression or anxiety. Overall, the lyrics of Anhedonia convey a sense of longing for something more, while also grappling with the discomfort of change and uncertainty.

It seems that humans tend to only value something once it is lost, and it is not uncommon for someone to avoid truly dealing with their emotions and instead act like they are making progress
