Artist Snapshot
Edwin is an alt-folk band formed by Jacob and Matthew Boll who split their time between Chicago and Los Angeles. Intricate guitar, ethereal instrumentation, pedal steel, light synth, interweaving harmony, and a solid dry beat build the core of Edwin's new album West. This core supports the singers at the center of songs. Jacob and Matthew deliver deep, introspective, and honest lyrics that dig for meaning with voices that are vulnerable yet unwavering. Edwin mines from the past, drawing from artists like Nick Drake and George Harrison with a nod to contemporary influences like Sufjan Stevens and Michael Kiwanuka.
