A Life Elided Releases “Arden”
May 18th, 2025
It’s been a solid decade since doing any real work with A Life Elided, but just last week, I finally released some tracks I’ve been working on over the last year. “Arden” is a bit of a new direction for the band as it leans a little more rock and a little less techno. Most notably, I’ve added layers of lyric-less drone vocals in several spots of the songs. I put in most of the work on these songs between January and March of 2024, and then spent the next few months making tiny tweaks. After about 6 months off I came back to listen to them, making a few tiny more tweaks before deciding it was finally time to put this out into the world. Listen to “Arden” on Spotify, Apple Music, or on YouTube.
