Description:

Cult SSW Ed Askew's new 2021 album is now available! Ed Askew is a New York acid SSW whose album released on ESP in 1968 has become a cult favorite. Ed Askew has been in New York for 30 years. A few years ago, he moved from Washington Heights in Manhattan to Ridgewood, Queens. And next month he will be living in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. During this time, Ed has developed a home recording method that is highly nuanced and concise at the same time. Harpsichord, tipple, synth, and the use of Pro Tools all play a role in completing this work. In the Corona Disaster, the band reaches a new level of poetry, and the performance unfolds in a gentle groove, as if telling the story of a bygone era to the youth, in the manner of a storyteller. The songwriting has a hooky, croaky quality that can still be heard in Ed's songs from that time, making this a quality work that will continue to appeal to acid-folk fans!
