On his 2016 breakthrough EP i think you think too much of me, Dublin-based vocalist-producer and multi-instrumentalist EDEN struck a rare balance of ingenuity and intuition with its guitar-heavy take on electronic pop. With vertigo, he takes an even more instinct-driven approach to his music, a process he perceives as a form of exploration.

Even when Im writing, I dont feel like Im actually creating anything, he says. Its more like Im uncovering something thats already there. Like how an archaeologist doesnt create a fossil theyre just finding it and uncovering it, and maybe rearranging it if its broken. Releasing this body of work is terrifying and exciting and overwhelming for me. A lot of it is so personal. This album is not a coming-of-age story, but it caused one.
