The psychedelic and vintage style proposed by this artist is interesting.
A musical vision that takes its cue from the 90s but at the same time manages to be modern. The chord progression is intricate and the rhythmic cadence fluctuates.
Honestly, it is one of the first times that I see an artist playing with such freedom with the rhythm. These compositional nuances push this genre towards the avant-garde.
The production is raw and sincere and this is another essential feature of the compositional style of this artist.
The thing I liked most about Eddie Mead is that this artist didn’t follow commercial rules to create his music. He only follows his instinct and travels a musical path never traveled before.
I’m curious to hear what his mind will be capable of giving birth to in the future. Prior to this, Eddie Mead also released a full album Turbine Regalia which you can listen to here: https://edymeaday.bandcamp.com/album/turbine-regalia

Introspective garage punk from the cold woods of Wisconsin.
(EM) is the solo moniker of recording artist Eddie Mead. Building on years of experience playing in several local bands of various styles and volumes, he’s assumed full creative control and released his first five proper solo albums throughout 2020-2021. His latest, ‘turbine regalia’, synthesizes his familiar heavy guitar riffs with more fluid, psychedelic textures and arrangements.
In writing music, Eddie finds his main emotional outlet. Lyrically, he examines isolation, nostalgia, dreams, memories, mental illness, substance abuse, addiction, and the struggles of recovery. He sings sad songs for the apocalypse. His words are sometimes stream of consciousness, or taken from the pages of his journals, and can be influenced by the works of Kurt Vonnegut, T.S. Eliot, and Beat Generation authors. He hopes listeners might relate to the issues discussed in his lyrics and find comfort or inspiration.
Musically, (EM) blends together a strange hybrid of lo-fi garage rock/shoegaze-sludge-pop with elements of folk and some psychedelia. His tunes have a balance of layered guitar work and textured noise. They can feature cut-up beats and odd patterns of disfigured sounds. With a disaffected voice, he sings understated, modest melodies. Amongst his many influences are Bob Dylan, Guided By Voices, Television, Nick Drake, Dinosaur Jr., My Bloody Valentine, Mission of Burma, Big Star, The Cure, The Replacements, and much more.
