Richard Edwards is in the pocket. He's been there for several albums now: 2017's Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset, 2020's The Soft Ache & the Moon, and 2022's Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw. Just as the Margot records defined his twenties, this "Beach Bum" era, as he calls it, may well define his thirties. That era is expanded in Two Sad Little Islands Drift Together, Two Lonely Little Monkeys Find A Tree: Rare and Unreleased 2015-2023.Beginning with Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset, Richard has been steering his ongoing body of work toward capturing a feeling of being at sea. Life can find us at sea in any number of ways-in a marriage or partnership, or in longing for one; in parenting, and it's ceaseless wonders and worries; in bodies and minds that confound understanding (whether just our own, or also that of professionals); in our rotting world, which we've fucked up beyond all repair. "What does that sound like, though?" you may ask. Like Mike Bloom's cascading fingerpicking in "Lil Dead Eye-d (b.)," or the tranquilizing combination of Dave Palmer's piano and Perla Batalla's multi-tracked vocals on "Love (b.)" Like the L.A. based Section Quartet on "True Love Waits," or the triumphantly stoned Velvet Ocean jam-session that is "Jane Greer With A Gun." Like Richard's use of melody and imagery on "Pink Lightning (b.)" and lead single "Benzedrine," where he is masterfully accompanied by Erin Rae (on the former) and Maria Taylor (on the latter).Unlike Richard's past archival releases which have often featured home demo recordings, everything on Two Sad Little Islands has been produced in-studio. With this 3-LP vinyl set, Richard presents just over two hours of material that once again makes his case as one of the "most underrated songwriter[s] of our time" (LA Review of Books).1.
