EDEN ANTS

"clobbers you with sincerity" - NOW MAGAZINE

"perfect pop" - CANADIAN MUSICIAN

"edgy post-punk" - CHART MAGAZINE



Toronto's art-spiked EDEN ANTS fuse indie rock with post-punk and pop, composing a sound that is unpredictable, idiosyncratic, and totally charming. The quintet's 2005 release, “hole.punch.litter” EP, was hailed as "perfect pop" by Canadian Musician and "svelte crunchy pop rock that clobbers you with sincerity" by NOW Magazine. This March, Eden Ants launched their follow-up “Take What You Want” EP to a sold-out crowd at The Rivoli. The anticipated new disc was produced/mixed by NYC super duo Macchiato Kids (David Bowie/The Cure/Talking Heads/Brazilian Girls) and features guest keyboards by Dave Fingaz Williams (K-OS).
