About

Songwriters: Richard Edwards

Due to a dastardly case of long-Covid that has left him unable to tour since 2017, Richard Edwards (in Indianapolis) and his comrades (in Los Angeles and Ojai) had already fine-tuned their own distance-recording machinery. Earlier this year, from his living room, Edwards beamed himself back to LA to track a single inspired by recent adventures in experimental health procedures in Chicago. When the fog cleared several weeks later, he had an LP: Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw. Produced by Edwards, Mike Bloom (Jenny Lewis), and Dave Palmer (Fiona Apple), it boasts a veritable all-star roster of collaborators including Jay Bellerose, Perla Batalla, Erin Rae, Johnny Flaugher, Jenny O, Maria Taylor, Benny Bock, Pete Thomas, Eric Go1fain and the Section Quartet, and countless engineers across LA county. Where Soft Ache was sinuous and florid, Ghost Electricity/ Vampire Draw is muscular and vaporous. "Ketamine" soars over the rubble with a hushed passion for what might still have survived. "Holy Spirit" tumbles into some other branch of time where rapturous and off-color long reigns supreme and heals all. "Love" morphs from a ballad into a prismatic frenzy of wordless revelry.
