St. Louis/Bloomington, Ill. | indie power-pop
Is indie power-pop a genre? If so, file St. Louis power trio Red Edmund under that category. Then sprinkle on a few touches of indie rock and full-on pop, and maybe a dash of solid singer-songwriter influences. Red Edmund's just released their self-titled album, and oh, what a gem it is. Ten songs of full-on smooth and sexy sweetness, flowing together and providing an enlivening listening experience. Frontman/guitarist Cory Graddy has a beautifully flexible and fluid voice. Bassist Tim Lyons not only adds a groove but also steps up to occasionally lead the riffs, thereby keeping the music fresh. Drummer Chad Geiser is a solid and varied beatmaker, providing cohesion to the talented triumvirate.
