The Eden House is a collaborative musical project, initiated by Stephen Carey and involving a collection of guest musicians and vocalists; later joined by Tony Pettitt.
Their debut album Smoke & Mirrors was released in April 2009 in the United States and Europe, and May in the United Kingdom. Vocals were provided by Monica Richards, Evi Vine, Amandine Ferrari and Julianne Regan.
Other contributors include violinist Bob Loveday, who had previously worked with Penguin Café Orchestra and Van Morrison as well as being a member of Bob Geldof’s band; former Fields of The Nephilim members Peter Yates, Nod Wright and Paul Wright; and drummers Simon Rippin and Bob Irwin.
The Eden House toured in 2009 and 2010, with Ferrari, Richards and Vine sharing vocals. Festival performances included a headline slot at the Whitby Gothic Weekend and an appearance at Germany's Wave-Gotik-Treffen.
The band's second release, The Looking Glass, featured five cover versions and was released in February 2010: it included guest vocals by Tallulah Rendall.
