Our Road To Dust, the lush third full-length album from New York City’s eclectic progressive rock quartet EDENSONG, is out worldwide today on The Lasers Edge.

Once praised as a “a great example of contemporary Progressive Rock” by Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, EDENSONG has delighted audiences throughout the US and abroad with their genre-bending blend: a hard driving rhythm section, flute playing that ranges from serenely melodic to avant-garde, lush vocal harmonies, and more than a touch of orchestral ambition. They have supported diverse acts including Kings X, Ozric Tentacles, Pain Of Salvation, Neal Morse Band, and Anglagard, and have headlined their own tours throughout the US, UK, and Canada.

EDENSONG now returns with their long-awaited third album Our Road To Dust in 2025, their first since releasing the critically adored Years In The Garden Of Years in 2016. Their first album to be crafted as a quartet, the record embodies the ambitious, detailed, and eclectic sound they have cultivated over the years, but is far heavier, more focused, and full of infectious melodic hooks.

With additional recording, sound design and production elements handled from EDENSONG allies across New York, London, and more, Our Road To Dust was produced and recorded by James Byron Schoen at Firecat Audio in New York City, and mixed by Johan Martin/mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden (Katatonia, Opeth, Amorphis). The record is completed with photography by Kelly Robertson and artwork by Nate Dorr and Ben Wigler.

EDENSONG’s James Schoen writes, “It’s very gratifying to see Our Road To Dust, an album that we have lived with for so many years, finally see the light of day!  We’ve been truly floored by the amazing critical response that it’s received so far and are just living in the moment for a change. It’s a very personal record for us. There’s been a real magic in reconnecting with the band in live context and getting this music back under our fingers, and we’re just thankful for the opportunity to do so, seemingly against the odds.”

“The influences in their music are both old and new, resulting in a varied collection of tunes. The inclusion of flutes in some tracks draws an obvious comparison to the likes of Jethro Tull and Camel. Other unusual instruments used include banjo, violin, Portuguese guitar and mellotron. Some of these are played by guest musicians and more on that later… gems like this don’t appear too often, and you need to seek them out.” – The Progspace

“…it is fresh, modern, bold, artistic, and their melodic sensibilities will have you coming back for more time and time again. 9/10” – Metal Temple

“EDENSONG’s Our Road To Dust is one of the best progressive rock albums of the year… It is as if Kansas and Jethro Tull took a walk through the desert and came up with this concept and these wonderful songs. Every note is a perfect reminder that there are…great American progressive rock bands… take EDENSONG’s wonderful life journey and sit down somewhere that you can enjoy it in its entirety, without interruption.” – Progressive Rock Central

“…a reflection on fractured artistic relationships, petty conflict, and the odd places inspiration can strike.” – Sonic Perspectives
