Edison Woods, the project of New York-based multimedia artist Julia Frodahl,
concocts elegant, dreamy, evocative chamber slocore.
The best songs of Edison Woods (Endearing, 2002), such as
Winterlude, Vivian, City Lights,
Fear & Yearn, follow the same minimal pattern:
a melody is set in motion and then looped over and over again, without
any interest in developing the rest of the song. The effect is
transcendental and gracefully melancholy.
Seven Principles Of Leave No Trace (Glitterhouse, 2003) is better
orchestrated with keyboards, cello, guitar, harmonium and violin,
(Fiction, the lengthy Was He A Poet).
Nest Of Machines (Habit Of Creation, 2006)

Il progetto Edison Woods, dell'artista multimediale
nuovaiorchese Julia Frodahl, miscela l'elegante slowcore da camera in modo
elegante ed evocativo. Le migliori canzoni di Edison Woods (Endearing, 2002),
quali Winterlude, Vivian, City Lights, Fear & Yearn, seguono tutte lo
stesso pattern minimale: viene suonata una melodia che viene ripetuta
continuamente, senza alcun interesse nello sviluppo del resto della canzone.
L'effetto trascendentale e graziosamente malinconico.
Seven Principles Of Leave No Trace (Glitterhouse, 2003)
meglio orchestrato con tastiere, violoncello,chitarra, armonium e violino,
(Fiction, la lunga Was He A Poet).
