Edwin – Dead Air
“-Edwin- gently sings in unison with the acoustic melody of his soul. They, as one, as if a small stream entered a large river and already together they went to conquer the previously unknown shores. A melody that does not let go to the very end. And, to be honest, I do not want it to end. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“-Edwin- нежно поёт в унисон с акустической мелодии своей души. Они как одно целое, словно маленький ручей вошёл в большую реку и уже вместе они отправились покорять неизведанные ранее берега. Мелодия, которая не отпускает до самого конца. И, если честно, не хочется, чтобы она заканчивалась.”

Dead Air is the 7th track on Edwin's newest LP, West. Jacob and Matthew Boll began recording the songs for West in the beginning of 2020 as people went on lockdown in their homes across the world. Every song from the record was recorded remotely, Matthew from the wilderness of Michigan and Jacob from sunny L.A. Joined by their friends from all over America, Dead Air features Sean Carey (Bon Iver, S. Carey) on drums, Bobby Lord (Jagged Jaw) on Wurlitzer, Ben Lester (Bon Iver, The 1975) on pedal steel, and Cobey. on guitar. This song was written about a person looking for comfort and an identity but coming up short, unsatisfied
