Description

Cover Notes: Weird Nightmare’s self-produced, and decidedly lo-fi, self-titled debut was recorded at home during the pandemic and released by Sub Pop in 2022. Weird Nightmare displayed Edkins’s indie rock sensibility, with a penchant for undeniable hooks and massive sing-along choruses. On the new studio album ‘Hoopla’ – co-produced with Spoon’s Jim Eno and recorded at Seth Manchester’s Machines with Magnets – Edkins expands Weird Nightmare’s dimensions even further. New musical textures such as piano, bells, and castanets fuse with Edkins’ straightforward songwriting to give these tunes a shiny luster.
