Following the news earlier this month of his signing to Warner Music New Zealand, Eden Mulholland announces the release of new single ‘Utopia’ on April 17th and coinciding New Zealand tour to celebrate. Presented by Radio Hauraki, the ‘Utopia Tour’ supported by Electro/Folk artist Eva Prowse (of Fly My Pretties success) will hit Christchurch, Auckland & Wellington in late May.
Eden’s less conventional path in music has helped shape his experimental approach to composition. Enabling his songs to disregard genre boundaries and ride that fine line between pop and poignancy.
The first single ‘Utopia’ taken from forthcoming album ‘HUNTED HAUNTED’ is based around a driving, raw acoustic guitar riff. The song explores themes of nostalgia, lost love, new love and camaraderie. Produced by Victor Van Vugt and Neil Baldock and recorded in New York and LA with drums performed by Nick Gaffaney from Cairo Knife Fight.
From his new home in Queensland, Australia; Eden’s music sees him in very high demand. This took him to New York and LA where he spent a large portion of 2014 recording his second album HUNTED HAUNTED, which is co-produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds/ PJ Harvey) and Neil Baldock (Neil Finn).
These days, you’ll find Eden travelling extensively to and from New Zealand and Australia working on new commissions and projects. Eden released his debut solo album FEED THE BEAST in 2013 to critical acclaim in Australasia with some wonderful reviews and invitations to play with his band at high profile events CMJ, BIGSOUND, Bleach and Teneriffe Festivals.
