West of Eden, a Swedish folk rock band from Gothenburg, was formed in 1995 by spouses Jenny and Martin Schaub after their return from a trip to Dublin. Inspired by Celtic folk music, they released their self-titled debut album West of Eden in 1997. The band's repertoire primarily consists of original songs influenced by Irish and Scottish folk music, characterized by acoustic instruments such as violin, accordion, and whistle. Their second album, Rollercoaster, was released in 2001, featuring notable singles "The One" and "(I Still Remember) How to Forget." Throughout their career, West of Eden has released thirteen studio albums, including Four (2006), Flat Earth Society (2019), and Taube (2021), the latter featuring Swedish-language interpretations of songs by Evert Taube. The band has toured extensively in Europe and China.
