Mansell - Big Chandelier

172426207_3853103718113889_1700029639375591409_n.jpg

Last week my friends from Atlanta - Mansell - released their EP ‘Big Chandelier’, which I was lucky enough to mix and master. The 5 track EP is so beautiful (not just because I mixed it, ahem), but their songwriting, playing, arrangments and voices are all world class. Honestly, their music is a masterclass in minimalism - each song may only have a few parts, but every part is full of purpose and the sound is huge.

This project and their music sits very close to my heart, so if you’ve taken the time to come to this page, and like some of the music I’ve been involved in, I hope that you can take some time to listen to this EP. I’ve even provided Spotify and Apple Music links and players (below) because I like to be helpful. I’m almost certain that you’re going to love it. Check out the awesome artwork by Loo Gray below too - the grey cover is the official one, but the two alternate images are brilliant too. It seems like they’re most active on Instagram, so be sure to give them a follow there too.

I hope that you enjoy the music and also wish for you to have a great day.

With love,

Bandicoot - FUZZY

Handsome fellows

Handsome fellows

They keep coming - another awesome track that I had the pleasure of mastering, once again produced/mixed by Tom Rees. Fuzzy is a banger that’s going through the KEXP/6Music/Radio Wales/Amazing Radio/Radio X love machine and, if you click the video below, you’ll see is well deserved.

Out now on Libertino Recs, check out the song/video below, and stream in the usual places like Apple Music & Spotify - or click on this link right here to take you to a page that’ll give you all the streaming platform options that anyone could ever desire.

I can’t speak on anything else just yet, but suffice to say that they’re not short of great tracks, so keep your eyes and ears close to the ground, or whatever people say to build anticipation.

With love,

Mansell - Goodbye Blue Monday

Finally some new music to share with you! I mixed and mastered this track - Goodbye Blue Monday - off Mansell’s forthcoming EP, which is out in April. These guys are so talented - beautiful songwriting, amazing voices, instrumentation and production - even the engineering is fantastic. When I get to work on their songs I feel like I get the opportunity to make a great piece of music even better, rather than trying to fix a bunch of issues. I can’t wait to share the whole EP!

You can check it out on Spotify or Apple Music, choose your fighter below. Rest assured that your stream will pay for them to buy 0.0000000001% of a cup of coffee or 0.00000004% of a guitar string which… is good I guess?

BuzzardBuzzardBuzzard - The Non-Stop EP

My dears, today is the day that the wonderful and fantastic BuzzardBuzzardBuzzard EP is finally released on Communion Records. I was lucky enough to play a small part in creating it, mastering both the digi/vinyl versions. It’s called an EP, but really, it’s an album’s worth of material and it’s really amazing.

These guys are just getting started and are some of the most talented musicians I know - it’s all self produced and recorded by frontman Tom Rees too. Super hyped for them and what they have in store for the future.

You can check out all their videos here and on Spotify and Apple Music.

With Love,

Jessy Allen - Rushbrook

Jessy Allen has one of the best and most powerful voices I’ve ever heard - or recorded. So happy to share her debut track ‘Rushbrook’ - a collaboration between Jessy, Dave Newington (Boy Azooga), Richie Hayes and myself.

Richie and I played on and produced the track, and it’s recorded, mixed and mastered by me, myself and I. It was really fun creating this, experimenting and hanging out with amazing people - it’s the first of a few tracks that we made together.

You can listen on: Spotify / iTunes / YouTube / Deezer (whatever the hell that is) and it’s on the BBC Wales and BBC Cymru daily playlists.

Really excited for Jessy and what she could create in the future…

With love,

Ed ❤️🎚🎛

Boy Azooga x Jim Sullivan - UFO

Ah - a new Boy Azooga tune I’m so glad to share with you. Recorded, produced and mixed by myself - and mastered by the ever talented (and hilarious) Guy Davie at Electric Mastering. We recorded it back in the blazing summer of last year (2019) - you can see some of the (slightly crappy) session shots in this Instagram post, if you’re interested.

It’s a cover/adaptation of the Jim Sullivan classic ‘UFO’ and the video (created by On Par Productions) and is both wonderful and fantastic. Here’s what Davey had to say about the track:

Hey hope you are all doing ok in this uncertain time. Feels weird to be releasing anything right now but we hope this brings a little joy and escapism! Here’s a video we made a couple months back for our cover of the Jim Sullivan classic ‘UFO’.

Got introduced to the record by Tom Friend of the amazing Friendly Records a couple years ago. It has become one of my favourite albums since. Hope we did it some justice! Would like to dedicate this version to Pete, safe voyage on your UFO

You can listen to the song in all the usual places - Apple Music, Spotify, or check the video below.

With love as always,

BuzzardBuzzardBuzzard - John Lennon Is My Jesus Christ

Happy to announce that my beautiful buds BuzzardBuzzardBuzzard have released their new single ‘John Lennon Is My Jesus Christ’ in the form of an epic movie. I was lucky enough to master the song, as well as the ‘remixes’ in the video (spoiler alert etc).

The single celebrates their signing to Communion Records, which is where they’ll be releasing their forthcoming album… which I also mastered. Tom (the frontman) even recorded, engineered and mixed it all himself.

So proud of them, they deserve it - amazing songs, amazing musicians, amazing live show. Mediocre as people but that’s the price you have to pay.

You can listen to the song in all the usual places, Apple Music or Spotify, and check the video below.

Boy Azooga - O Silly Me

Really happy to finally share a new track from Boy Azooga that I produced/recorded/mixed/mastered - it’s a glimpse at the second LP that we’re currently working on. I think it’s really beautiful and am so proud of Dave for writing such an amazing song.

Dave says it’s: A song about worry: written when worried, that might hopefully ease some worry for other worriers. Hope you enjoy it (no worries if not).

Isn’t he just lovely.

Private World - On The Run

So happy to announce that my amazingly talented friends (and VOYA bandmates) Tom Sanders and Harry Jowett AKA Private World have released this beautiful music and announced their debut album coming in 2020 on LA-based label Dais Records!

The annoyingly handsome Private World

Mansell - Floyd

So happy to share another track that I mixed and mastered, by the amazing Mansell from Atlanta. I’m so happy with how it turned out - these guys are super talented and I’m loving everything I’m being sent!

Mansell - Good Form

Oh hello there - this is a post to tell you that I’ve been working with an Atlanta based trio called Mansell - I mixed and mastered their latest single ‘Good Form’. It’s beautiful and it’s really fun to work with a band that seems have a really similar combination of influences as myself - hip hop, indie/alt, soul, etc. Really feels like a good match working with these guys - great musicianship, songwriting and style.

We’ve worked together on a few tracks and I can’t wait to share more of their music with you, it’s quite wonderful. Really excited to see where these guys take their music, so much potential.

Check out good form on Spotify, or check the YouTube link below.

With love,
