Edmund Wayne - Edmund Wayne EP

Some create music with sounds of the past close to heart, where others hug the cusp of the contemporary. Then there are those which blur the boundary in between. Edmund Wayne was born of a generation past. Two men - one named Edmund, one named Wayne - lent not only their names, but their lives to the creation of Curt Krause's musical moniker. Yet, the music created here sings of a time without time. The songs on his self-titled EP - ranging from nostalgic acoustic ballads to cacophonous folk-rock collages - tell of long-lost sons and the mistakes and regrets that make us human. Krause, formerly of the band Buffalo Death Beam, recorded the album with fellow Seattlites River Giant, a collaboration of his bittersweet folk tunes and their harmony-laden rock-and-roll. His live show, whether solo or with friends in tow, delivers a wild-eyed passion evident to even the casual observer, deeply felt by the keen. The ep was produced and engineered by Curt Krause Mixed by Bart Budwig of Blue Box Studios in Moscow, ID Mastered by Ed Brooks of RFI in Seattle, WA.
