Garden of Eden
Hippie Theory’s Debut Album
Hippie Theory brings you the best elements of vintage, nostalgic 70s rock updated to the present in a raw, OG manner without the sterilized processes of AI, Auto-Tune, or ultra-processing.
What you hear includes a Strat and Les Pauls without foot pedal effects plugged directly into a high-powered Friedman amplifier and mic’d for recording the classic rock sound. We used similar old-school mic processes with the vocals, P-Bass, all acoustic guitars, the mandolin, the pianos and, of course, the drums.
Recorded at the OG Criteria Studios in Miami
Hippie Theory’s debut album, Garden of Eden, was recorded spontaneously over the course of just a few days in the world-famous Criteria Studios in Miami, including in Studio C, where parts of two of the best albums of all time were recorded: The Eagles’ Hotel California and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours.
Hippie Theory could feel the spirits and inspirations of all the prior timeless classics recorded at Criteria.
Hippie Theory also recorded parts of the songs Garden of Eden and Pill Mill Kill in Studio A on the very same Yamaha C-9 grand piano that Sir Paul McCartney played on in that same studio.
Criteria Studios has been the home for recording some of the best records, songs, and artists of all time, including but not limited to Derek and the Dominos (Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs), The Allman Brothers (Idlewild South, Eat a Peach), Eric Clapton (461 Ocean Boulevard), the Bee Gees (Children of the World, Saturday Night Fever), Black Sabbath, and Bob Marley.
Hippie Theory believes Garden of Eden is something Criteria will be proud of and that you will also find to be timeless.
