Bio
Eliza Edens is a Brooklyn-based songwriter who studies love, grief, and geologic time through guitar-based music. After years of making lush, fingerpicked guitar music, the singer has reemerged with their first single in 3 years “Leash.” With a fresh palette of bouncy electric bass, watery keys, and off-kilter guitars, Edens encourages the listener to give in to their vices yet keep them in check. The track marks a shift in style for Edens and serves as a hint of what’s to come. “Leash” is let free on March 31.

“The Berkshires-born artist, now based in Brooklyn by way of Colorado, is no stranger to transition, examining love, death and nature in turns… The indie-folk artist’s sophomore release finds them intensifying the questions of their debut with a sharpened, vulnerable edge.”
“Edens' vocals have a way of cutting to your deepest feelings with their husky intonation and a warmth that proves itself soothing even at moments of despair and worry. … We'll Become the Flowers is a sturdy little album that allows them to assert themself as someone who is quite skilled at delivering their message with power and a beautiful grace.”
“We’ll Become the Flowers is superior singer-songwriter music…”
“Edens has given us a great gift by transforming her own grief into art. We’ll Become the Flowers carries that magic needed to take the listener’s hand and walk with them through life’s greatest endings, or to simply sit with them on the sand while they look beyond the horizon into their own.”
—Lucky Lamond, Women’s International Music Network
“[I Needed You] is a powerful song that reveals the complex and beautiful way Edens moulds a song. … Like a good photo, how you frame a subject makes all the difference and Edens provides a masterclass in composition.”
“A meditation on the strangeness of an aftermath, when nothing is as it used to feel and anger and longing are impossible split.”
“‘I Needed You’ delivers a twangy, understated charm that leaves a lingering impression.”
“[We’ll Become the Flowers] possesses a quiet power, forever pushing itself to the foreground no matter where one’s attention lies, reminiscent to an extent of Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin. … Eliza Edens is a talented singer-songwriter whose work deserves to be heard.”
“… a detailed creative musical touch that draws its inspirations from folk, roots, blues, jazz, classical, you name it. … Edens has that sensitive, sophisticated lyrical touch that is quite intimate, but escapes mundane at every step.”
“Spending time with [We’ll Become the Flowers] allows it to reveal its tender, contemplative charms…”
