Richard Edwards (Margot) - Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw (October 7, 2022) Album

Preorder bundles at Bigcartel (Richard Edwards) or Bandcamp (Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw, by Richard Edwards).

Last autumn, at an experimental clinic in Chicago, Richard Edwards (Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s) sat with an IV in his arm, and ketamine slipping its way into his obstinate body. Not long before that, also there, in the windy city he’d once called home during the zenith of his Margot days, he had a doctor pop a nerve in his neck. When asked if it worked, Richard says that it didn’t not work.

Our bodies and minds go through crucibles of varying kinds as we live, and we get good at taking the licks, but something remains below skin. Even when we’re in love: there is a current of pain that we pretend not to feel, humming.

What would it feel like, to tap into that current–not with fear, but with courtesy, and steady attention?

Could we not use it as a power source of some type?

Richard Edwards went on a trip last year, and then a new record fell out.

Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw premieres on vinyl and streaming on October 7, preceded by “Ketamine” on September 2. -Matt Metzler

Dude is constantly churning out new material. Has been a little difficult to keep up with everything, but I always try!

 

Nice of him to put up a countdown to my birthday.

 

If anybody's lapsed on their Patreon membership, this feels like a good time to re-subscribe. He's been releasing dreamy alt. versions of earlier solo songs (Git Paid and Gene) and as of today he's released the fourth recording from the LP4 sessions, none of which will be on the album itself (a Gillian Welch cover of Beautiful Boy, Sandra's Stuff re-recording, and two new songs called Knees and Jane Greer with a Gun).

The train's moving!

 

holy moly mama

 

Love this dude

 

bad news for someone who just hopped off for the first time since it started due to being broke as heck

 

Yeah I also had to cancel my subscription a few months back after having been a member since he started as well.

Richard tried to upload a teaser to Facebook tonight and it was promptly "fact-check" censored

hell yeah

 

I talked Richard into doing a podcast interview with these guys who recently did a 2.5 hour Margot retrospective episode, this is a great listen and Richard sounds the most comfortable I've ever heard him sound in interviews: https://thehotmic.co/2022/08/conversation-richard-edwards/

 

If y'all could vote on this silly Twitter poll I sure would appreciate it. Feel free to follow the account, too, it's all going to be RE/Margot-centric content:

 

LCCS no question.

 

Poor Verdugo and New Mood, I just know they aren't going to get any love when stacked against those other two

LCCS and Soft Ache are tied for me. LCCS probably means more to me personally/emotionally though.

 

(if you missed this, it was the True Love Waits cover, it'll be out for good soon)

 

damn that's fucking beautiful

also, album's very good but you knew that already, see you Friday

 

Me connecting the dots that you probably connected a long time ago

 

hi :)

 

this cover is extremely relevant to my interests

 

Fair warning that I'm gonna pull that embed out in a few hours, it was meant to be Patreon only but I wanted to get y'alls attention before the single premieres tomorrow
