In 2017, Causa Sui crafted their heaviest effort thus far. The final chapter in a trilogy, beginning with Euporie Tide from 2013, through Return To Sky from 2016. The Trilogy confirmed Causa Sui’s singular niche, where vintage Sabbath-isms are filtered through a distinctively post-modern ethos, and has continuously sold out as the top sellers at El Paraiso Records.

What sets Causa Sui apart is the fact that the band's individual members have had their hands in a wide variety of music in the past 20+ years – ambient drone, improv sessions with krautrock legends, synthesizer music, and they've made records with guys from Tortoise and Sunburned Hand of the Man. Causa Sui's brand of rock conveys everything so great about fuzzed-out heaviness, yet there's something about it that makes the listening experience far from trivial. In stark contrast to the standards of the stoner/doom scenes Causa Sui manages to be weighty and peaceful at the same – forceful, yet vulnerable, ecstatic yet thoughtful. On opener ”The Drop” the band drives a thick John Bonham groove into Can-esque freeform ecstasy before liquefying the groove into a warm coda of shoegazy guitars and wistful synths. On 11-minute centerpiece ”El Fuego” they create a sonic stream that channels Popol Vuh as much as Palm Desert stoner rock. And the closing title track can best be described as sounding like that Sonic Youth sludge-metal record that never was. Ounce for ounce Vibraciones Doradas is arguably Causa Sui's heaviest effort.
