[2]Attics to Eden is the second studio album by American band Madina Lake. It was released on 1 May 2009 in Australia, 4 May in the UK and 5 May 2009 in the United States.[3][4] The track listing was announced in January 2009 by the British music magazine, Kerrang.[5]
Musically, it is much different from the band's debut album From Them, Through Us, to You. The booklet folds out to a map showing Madina Lake's fictional character, Adalia's, journey to Eden.
The album debuted and peaked at #44 on the UK Albums Chart.
