“Worth searching out coz this lo-fi singer/songwriter oddball has a unique take on the genre… [he’s] happy to get raucous & obnoxious in just the right kinda way.” – Chris Knox
“Rough outsider folk-blues mysteries, dissonant rock textures, electric and acoustic improvisations… Edwards strikes me as one of the most overlooked musicians from the fertile lands of New Zealand and if you need a fresh start this might very well be the place.” – Mats Gustafsson, The Broken Face

Gleefully Unknown: 1997-2005
Compilation of highlights from the first phase of my gloriously unsuccessful career
Loose Autumn Moans
Semi-acoustic songs with string section, recorded on all-analogue equipment (2003)
Mantis Shaped & Worrying
The difficult third album, an idiosyncratic spoken word + instrumental voyage into inner space (2002)
The Marion Flow
Electric and acoustic songs, spoken word and instrumentals – an almost-recognised New Zealand classic (1999–2001)
Scratched Surface
The debut album – a genuine lo-fi postpunk singer/songwriter artifact from the ’90s (1997-1998)
