Causa Sui is a group formed in Odense, Denmark. Their music is generally psychedelic/ stoner-rock with kraut-rock elements.
"Causa Sui is Latin, meaning something that is generated from within itself, it's own cause, and it's mostly applied to the God concept. My midnight guess is that these Danes (3 now, 4 in the beginning of their days together in 2004) apply it to the way they generate music, from deep within themselves both individually and as a group. They've had lots of practice: although they're only in their early and mid-twenties, they've been jamming together since
before they were teens, and it gives them a remarkable maturity for players so young.
Causa Sui is not the hipster’s unintelligent 60ies-look nostagia music, not a scholar’s sad search for the most complex of compositions, nor a neanderthal take on sludgy riffs. This is free music – all written, shaped, played and produced by the band during 9 months of isolation.
Imagine the furious haze of manic Hendrix and Blue Cheer jamming with a young Iggy Pop, recorded and seamlessly layered by krautrockers Can. It’s untamed music picked up from the late 60s, not looking back at zeitgeists and other limitations, picking up different trails on the way, wrapped in a complex, but soundwise warm and simple jacket."



DISCOGRAPHY


|| Causa Sui (2005) ||




"They describe their music as "untamed music picked up from the late 60ies, not looking back at zeitgeists and other limitations, picking up different trails on the way, wrapped in a complex, but soundwise warm and simple jacket". Kicking off with a sonic fuzzed out MC5-like groover the songs become more and more spacy, combined with long graceful instrumental passages, freaked out guitar works, super dynamic drums and frantic vivid vocals. This powerful jouney culminates in the "Workings of the Great Blue Swells", an over 12 minutes long psychedelic space rock epic."



|| Free Ride (2007) ||




"Strangely enough, the album begins in atypical fashion with the title track, a short, loose and mostly acoustic tune, with a eurospace meets 60s U.S. west coast hippie vibe. The engines get running with 'Lotus,' where the Stooges, Hawkwind, and MM merge together in a molten mass, governed by wailing guitars that favor dynamics over speed soloing. The atmosphere continues to envelope you with 'White Sun,' which begins with some Mitch Mitchell drum figures, morphing into a hard-edged Blue Cheer trip with plenty of retro keys for even more flavor. Whew! Your hair will really blow back with 'Passing Breeze,' which begins with some quiet, early Dave Brock-style guitar strumming, then tears you down with some heavy garage psych before adding in some Victor Periano-like synths, a la Arthur Brown's Kingdom
Come. The album's capper is 'Newborn Road,' a 15 minute mind voyage boasting some wailing guitar that would make Jimi himself grin with joy.

This hash dream of an album will have some crossover appeal. Fans of the hard psych space rock branch of the stoner/doom tree, as exemplified by late 80s/early 90s Bevis and Outskirts, going back through the hallowed early 70s and Hawkwind, High Tide, and the Pink Fairie's 'Never Never Land,' and finally meeting up with The Experience will dig this, as will enthusiasts of latter-day practitioners closer to the metal camp, like Valis, Novadriver, Mammatus , Colour Haze and Phased. In their usual way, Elektrohasch has
presented us with the class of the European hard psych/space underground. You'd have to be a real cube to turn it down."


|| Summer Sessions (Vol.1) ||




"The opening track is a nearly 25 minute masterpiece jam with some great keyboards and guitars and moving from spaced out stuff to Miles Davis like stuff to stoner rock, Hendrix like riffing. Killer piece of music. Side B features 3 shorter pieces. Red Sun in June starts very relaxed with some cool synthesizers and a nice groove. Jonas plays all the guitars, keyboards and electronics. The track ultimately builds up with some beautiful guitar soloing and I really like the way the organ just hangs in the bottom of the sound. Portuxeddu is next and features Johan on saxophone. The track is a more frantic groove and pace and the layers of sax are mixed in a very psychedelic manner. By far the most jazzy track the band has ever made with the counter rhythms and repetitive guitar line. Cool. The LP ends with Soledad. This track is quite slow and dreamy and again features some great guitar work. This is a step in a totally different direction for the band and I really dig it! One of the best records this year!"


|| Summer Sessions (Vol.2) ||



"Volume 2 features 5 tracks, 3 short ones ranging from 1 min to 5 and two long central jams, "The Open Road" (14min) and "Tropic of Capricorn" (23min). The short acoustic "Sun Prayer" begins things and Jonas sings some harmonies to go along with it before the "Rip Tide" track begins. This has a familiar sound guitar riff for you and this is the direction that all the heavy rock songs take, with these up and down riffs, intense drumming and then intense sax at different points. Jonas also puts in plenty of ripping guitar solos. "The Open Road" is one the band play a lot live these days and has a very repetitive guitar and bass line and some quite spacey guitar, synths and sax playing and builds up to quite intense stuff. I love the ending of this track, really spacey and cool organ. The side ends with the short dreamy acoustic piece called "Cinecitta". Side two is the 23 min "Tropic of Capricorn" and although this is a cool track it does not really stand up to the totally amazing side long track on volume 1 (Visions of Summer). The band is definitely improvising on this piece while the other tracks on the record are a bit more composed. It starts slow and with some nice windy, spacey synths and relaxed drumming and bass as the groove slowly builds and takes form when the band steals the riff for Crossroads and it then the guitar jam begins. After a return to the basics, the track builds again with another wah guitar solo and then Johan comes in with some killer sax (for sure this is Johan’s stand out contribution to the band) as the band is really flying now and then it gets really spacey before exploding again. Pretty damn cool stuff."


|| Summer Sessions (Vol.3) ||




"Volume 3 is a shorter record and does not feature Rasmus (synth player for the last two years) and Jonas plays all the guitars, vocals, keyboards and samples. It has basically three tracks, one of which is split into 3 parts (Manifestations of Summer). "Eugenie" starts things off with a slow building piece with sax and some nice trippy keyboards as the track slowly builds up. Jonas lays down a very spacey psychedelic guitar solo on this track the ending is very Colour Haze inspired. The next track "Red Valley" (~10min) also sounds very much like one of those building Colour Haze tracks but the guitar is not so dry and has a nice layer of effects on it. This track builds nicely and finally just kills. "Manifestations of Summer" is slow and spacey with some nice spacey synths as the delay guitars keep a repetitive rhythm before Jonas hits some spacey pedal and really takes us out into space. While all this is going on there is a very melodic thread in the music as well in the overdub layers. Johan comes in around 4 minutes or so with some sax as the song is building in intensity underneath. It is sort of creeping up on you as you focus on his sax and then, when you think they are going to explode, the head back out into really spacey territory but don’t worry, it kicks in full force after some spacey guitar and Johan kicks in with another solo. The last section is still very spacey and features acoustic guitar, electric guitar and some nice spacey synths. Great way to end this cool record.

So which volume is the best? Hard to say, you will have to decide for yourself."
