Eden Prairie

Alt. Country and Americana from Helsinki, Finland. Heavy on the lyrics.

In 2016, following a <a href="spotify:artist:2zTCLiQ8OUIWEyV6eZWzFy" data-name="Richmond Fontaine">Richmond Fontaine</a> show, British-Finnish Peter Samuel Tierney, an ex legal aid for deathrow convicts, teamed up with a few bandless local punk rock devotees to form Eden Prairie.

The new album &#34;<a href="spotify:album:2s3gBIB8XWtu0etaAs6R7O" data-name="Give Up The Ghost">Give Up The Ghost</a>&#34; has been featured e.g. on the International Americana Music Show, that airs on over 60 stations worldwide.

&#34;These songs, full of nostalgia for lost chances, lost lives, and lost love, take their time to come to life; never hurried or rushed, they allow the stories to build slowly and carefully, creating melancholy but melodic snapshots of everyday life.&#34; – <a href="spotify:artist:3fonM9yAAv0ze7yTzTgHzu" data-name="Vanessa Peters">Vanessa Peters</a>, Texas-based singer-songwriter

&#34;Every so often they drop a tiny little phrase into the song that is the equivalent of those landmines Hemingway used to bury in his short stories...&#34; –Will Shade, Them Bird Things

“I like music that forces me to sit down and LISTEN! A wonderful band.” –Gary Heffern (The Penetrators, Gary Heffern &amp; Beautiful People)

&#34;Easily stands up next to giants like Vlautin or Fisher. I&#39;ve grown so tired of alt.country and americana, but this has more to do with the writings of an Eitzel or a Carver, where peculiar dilutions of country music only form the backdrop for something that is ultimately universal. “First Time I Lost You” had me in tears. And I can&#39;t remember when that last happened. Best album in 2021 so far.&#34; –Jean Ramsay, music writer, musician
