Causa Sui returns with the perfect companion to last year's tour de force, ”From The Source”. Whereas that record was a tightly structured piece of work, that condensed many aspects of the band's sound into a concise 45 minute LP, ”In Flux” presents the more loose and impulsive side of Causa Sui. 

After an introductory suite in classic Causa Sui territory, with deep fuzz riffs and syncopated grooves, things gradually become more outlandish. The following three vinyl sides see the band channeling Hot Rats-style jazz fusion, the oceanic post-rock of late-period Talk Talk, and the impulsive, anarchic experimentalism of Can's ”Tago Mago” into their own beatific brew. On “Spree”, the band abandons guitar entirely, relying on a dual synthesizer on top of drums and bass instead, yet maintains that uniquely Sui-an vibe.

The centerpiece in this set, ”Astral Shores”, unfolds over 16 minutes – from gently hypnotic, ritualistic folk, through motoric psychedelia and back again. It's been many years since Causa Sui have sounded this unmoored on a studio record. ”In Flux” is an essential chapter in the band's ever-changing oeuvre.  

The double 10” format might seem like an odd choice, but splitting the album into four short, distinctive parts makes perfect sense stylistically. Each side has a character all off its own, taking the listener somewhere different.

Something different from Causa Sui.

”Szabodelico” paints with a colourful palette, both compositionally and sonically – digging deep into an assortment of cultures, eras and sounds with a true crate-digger mindset. Throughout their 15 year life-span Causa Sui has always been about seeking out new directions, exploring the past and the present in a way that’s unique at each step of their subtle progression – forging new paths into an existing map. ”Szabodelico” feels like discovering a small room under the stairs of your own house: familiar, yet new and exciting.

Their latest vision is an elegantly zoned-out version of itself: a turn inward. Anti-bombastic, yet rich with ecstatic harmonics and dynamics. The band stringed together a long series of sessions in 2019 and early 2020 in their studio in Odense, often prioritizing playful first takes and good vibes rather than clinical perfection.

Sparsely dubbed and mixed with a natural, full bodied flavour by Jonas Munk during the summer of 2020, each track has its own aesthetic. There’s no simple equation to sum up the 13 individual parts of the album, but as a whole it creates an entity that’s as complete as each of its parts. From the windblown opener ”Echoes of Light”, to the closing slow-motion epic ”Merging Waters” you’ll find yourself asking where did the time go? The answer of course is: Szabodelico.
