I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!
In the North of the North of England there is a small rural market town.
It is a quiet, slow moving town; half day opening on a Wednesday, that kind of place.
There is an excellent library though, with a surprisingly good audio section.
It was here that Robert Edwards was drawn. Books and music and music and books - sometimes at the same time.
After a few years of reading, listening and watching, Edwards decided it was time for the city. After overcoming his initial disorientation Edwards ventured out from his rented accommodation and discovered...bigger libraries!
And music shops and book shops - you could keep the music and books and nobody stamped them. And do you know what? They were even open on Wednesday afternoons.
It was around this time that a plan began to take shape.
Edwards had written songs in the small market town and now he had written songs in the city. Some of the songs were like a whisper and some were like shadows, but there were words and there were melodies and they were complete. He played them over and over and got to know them inside out. Then he made a phone call. Settling down in the corner of his bedroom with a guitar and a borrowed creaky keyboard he performed the songs.
We pressed record and play.
The debut ep 'Build Your Own Snow Globe' was released late 2005 on Static Caravan Records and sold out within days.
Record Collector: "Edward's is a craftsman of individual songs that touch the mantel of Belle and Sebastian, Badly Drawn Boy and I am Kloot at their most tender...disparate but beautiful"
Organart: "Adorably beautiful, secretly addictive...treat yourself to something special" Record of the Week
Sounds xp: " Feels like you've just discovered genius in the shy boy at the back of the class"
Losing Today: "An absolute gem if our ears don't deceive us where the sweet configuration of poetry, romance and finely lush laden curved melodies merge to give you one of those all to rare 'aye aye what's this then' type tingles down the spine - blissful stuff."
Angry Ape: "This is not the usual nauseating doodlings of a commercial singer-songwriter. The Library Trust adds beautiful imagery, impressive compositions and a genuine, charismatic home-recorded production value to some of the finest acoustic penned music around. Sublime. "
Downloader: "He writes ghostly, delicate tracks that dart and cower like bashful fireflies. He sounds a little like Sparklehorse. He sounds a lot like Tindersticks. His 'Build Your Own Snowglobe' EP is magical."
www.bbc.co.uk: "These tracks are things of genuine beauty"
The A to Z of Mathematics will be released on Brownshoe Records on October the 30th 2006.
