notes
Simply put, Edria is a dream-pop come true. And if you haven't yet heard this Bay Area-based quintet, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Edria's alluring collection of catchy guitar-driven songs, ranging from shimmering pop to moody space-rock, demonstrates a talent for exceptional use of the musical canvas, painting it with colorfully emphatic guitar-strokes from a dizzying pallet of distortion pedals. Unlike other groups sharing influences of past pioneers Cocteau Twins, New Order, Lush, and those lumped under the "shoegazer" umbrella, Edria ambitiously pushes us out from the flattened shadows of post-punk to scale a towering wall-of-sound, luring us forward into a new generation of ethereal pop with creative layerings of sonic guitar lacerations and blissful swirls of lyrical sadness. Their new album, Regret, and previous EP, Timorous Itsters, are likely to please impressionable fans of the above mentioned, or followers of more recent groups such as Mojave 3, Trembling Blue Stars, and Piano Magic. As if standing vulnerably under a fountain of youth, there is something innocently refreshing about the way Edria's music splashes in your ear- from the echoing guitar chords strummed with impossible delicacy to the infinitely youthful female/male voices breathing words from pages ripped out of diaries and loveletters- it's a sound that promises nostalgic encounters with past musical loves while leading you even further on an endlessly lustful prowl into uncharted territory. Describing Edria is much like retelling a dream; words can at best point fingers to the firsthand experience- of both their recordings and their richly textured live sound on stage, which they've recently shared with contemporaries Astral, Faint Distant Sounds and David J (Bauhaus). Keep your eyes and ears open for Edria, who could fit closely in your heart alongside bands who have recorded on labels like 4AD, Darla, or Slumberland.
