Br'er - Filled With Guilt & Diamonds 12" EP
Edible Onion is proud to announce its first 12" vinyl release, Br'er's EP 'Filled With Guilt & Diamonds.' We are releasing the EP on 180 gram vinyl, and comes packaged in a screen printed, double gatefold sleeve with the lyrics laid out inside surrounded by ink drawings. Features a bonus track called 'Centralia.' Only 400 will be available! Buy it at edibleonion.com
"Filled With Guilt & Diamonds" runs the gamut between more accessible pop songwriting and noise music that is heavily influenced by modern classical and avant-garde composition. "Painted Lady" is intricately arranged shoegaze pop and includes Nat Baldwin (Dirty Projectors) on upright bass. Its explosion of color at the end is in stark contrast to the mechanized horrors of album closers, "Sugar Bear," a voice and noise piece including Charles Cohen, and "Catch a Falling Knife," an avant-garde chamber pop song rife with organ, baritone sax, piano, harp, and noise. The album represents the schizophrenic nature of Br'er and showcases the two primary focuses that exist in Schurr's songwriting, blistering pop arrangement, and dissonant noise music.

Edible Onion is a Philadelphia based label/collective that is focused on releasing small run, hand-made records of artists and musicians.
We like to make our lives difficult. There are no easy shortcuts at Edible Onion! We take pride in the small impractical touches.. like sewing individual flower pedals to the cover of cd jackets, and hand painting 100 records just so every single release is individually unique and special.
Feel free to send us a message via email (darian@edibleonion.com) or myspace if you're interested in doing a project with us!
