Ed Black
http://soundcloud.com/edblackmusic
Over the last few years whilst working closely with signed artists Ady Suleiman (Sony) and Tayá (Atlantic), Ed Black has been quietly crafting his own sound. On his undoubtedly personal ‘Come Down’ EP Black seamlessly blends the folk tendencies of Ben Howard with the ethereal textures of Bon Iver, each track telling its own unique story.
Born in Chester and a graduate of the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, Ed Black is currently residing in London where, over the past year and a half, he has been honing in on his own musical voice with producer and long-time collaborator Chris Pawlusek. Without a doubt the ‘Come Down’ EP captures that voice perfectly – the feeling of loss and vulnerability in the lyrics reflected in the dark, reverb-drenched, production. Though you may hear Ed Black’s recognisable playing on many other records, this EP is where you will find him in his most honest form: just a voice, a piano and a guitar.
