about

Based in Stockholm, Paradise of Yesterday produces late night lo-fi with a sense of clarity and immersion that almost invokes the cold northern metropolis -- even when distancing itself in tropical asides or niche concept albums. 'Enigmatic' is a darker and more moody outing that follows on a noirish strain first explored on 2020's 'Nightlife', released on the Gorgeous Lights label. PoY ciites old VHS soundtracks and memories, as well as lucid reaming as inspiration for 'Enigmatic,' with French prog rock band Pulsar's 20-minute epic "Görlitz" as a particularly strong influence on its overall sound.

"The city lights shiver and dim, and everything begins a long march toward sleep. Philip Marlowe and Rick Deckard prowl alleyways in search of marks and elusive, rain-slicked revelations. Music pours out from random doors, and Stockholm’s Paradise of Yesterday add their noirish rumble to the late evening atmosphere." -Beats Per Minute

"This is a tape to hold on to, let it find its way to you when the temper of contemplation needs the correctly dialed combination..." -Lost in a Sea of Sound
