EDO is part nostalgia, part kabuki, and part earnest songwriting. Songwriting is the heart of the matter. While any resemblance these noisy dabbles may have to actual recordings is purely accidental, any resemblance these scribbles have to actual songs is surprisingly intentional.

Eddie thinks fondly of that time and place where melody ruled as a gentle prince over a land of contented words. These tunes are a series of postcards home to that paradise lost.

And no, he can’t sing, but he does his best.
