Track Of The Day 29/9 – EDGES

'Bombs'

EDGES isn't an easy artist to pin down.

At first, he appeared to be rooted in folk, with his plangent acoustic style marking out new territory for Berlin.

But then he flipped things round – introducing synths, brittle electronics, EDGES seemed determined to outrun anyone who wanted to place him in a pigeonhole.

New cut 'Bombs' brings these dichotomous elements together, pitting oscillating guitar lines against daubed electronics.

Out on September 30th, it's a literate, poetic, enthralling offering from a talent rapidly coming into his own.

Tune in now.
