Richard Edwards and The Velvet Ocean – The Soft Ache and the Moon (June 12, 2020) Album • Page 2

Richard Edwards (Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s) releasing new LP (stream 2 tracks)

always nice when a relevant pub talks about richard these days

 

"Sandra's Stuff" (now a b-side) is up on Patreon. Really gorgeous, and some of my favorite lyrics from him lately.

 

This is the big one!

 

love the writing on this one

musically i think january is still my fave

 

I like this one. Thought for sure the “love breaks your heart” part would be the chorus, interesting choice to go in the opposite direction.

 

this ones very cool

 

Richard’s releasing the full album via Bandcamp tomorrow, apparently around 11 am eastern.

 

This thing is dense but so, so good.

 

Hell yea

 

Live at Luna RSD release now available digitally for PWYW:

 

This is pretty great y’all. Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset was always gonna be hard to top though.

 

Nice shoutout in his email about the album release today, @Matt Metzler!

Richard Edwards’s wistful and waterlogged songbook gains a new set of delicate, moonstruck tunes

 

Thanks! I was super flattered to see it linked there!

 

Happy Christmas is my jam

 

the new song on the patreon from the next thing is soooo good

 

Dangit, I missed the alternate version of Monkey and now he’s taken it down. Anyone rip it?

 

PWYW sampler from next year's rarities compilation:

 

this didn’t stick with me as much as i thought a richard project would. going back now after getting my copy on vinyl and it’s really good, though. it’s just very lush and decadent so like a really rich mousse i’m not reaching for it every night (who am i kidding that’s only cus i don’t have any mousse)

 

With the change in the weather here I find myself coming back to this more. It didn't really fit my listening over the summer.

 

I love Dust of Retreat and Animal/Not Animal!.

If Andy Fry were involved with this, I'd be curious.

 

Happy 12th birthday to Animal!/not animal:

 

that rot gut era show he has up on bandcamp fucking rocks

 

LFG!!! New album, New Mood, out March 18th:

At the onset of the pandemic, mostly to ward off depression, I got together with Dave Palmer and Perla Batalla to record some of the music from The Soft Ache and the Moon era that we hadn’t gotten to for that record.

When we were finished I felt that it might be a little too gloomy for a world trying to navigate a once in a hundred year nightmare so it got set on the shelf.

Well, it is on the shelf no more. Sounding unlike any other recording collection we’ve made, this one is meant for late nights in smoke filled rooms with a glass of something stiff.

New Mood has become very dear to me and I hope it finds you and your family well after so much trouble. This album is very limited and as always we have some real neat variants as well as a deluxe pack.

We’ve also released the first song, a shaggy and sprawling little bit of business called, “Golden Moses”, which was written during a period of wandering around Los Angeles and getting into wonderful trouble.

The album will be released on March 18th.
