He has a back catalogue of songs that most musicians would kill for. Sounding like a young Billy Bragg, we love him and so will you.” – BBC Introducing New Music of the Week ========= Ed Lofstedt is a Bristol-based songwriter who released his second EP 'sweep me away' in 2017, recorded with a supergroup of local musicians like Pictures of Belgrade, Iceman Furniss Quintet and Cécile. The core of that group - The Ed Lofstedt Assembly - are a four-piece band who play high energy melodic folk-pop with thrilling dynamic shifts and sweeping crescendos. Ed's songs are touched with the melodrama of Sufjan Stevens, Guy Garvey and Justin Vernon; big-hearted, melodic, and wry. Ed channels electronica and post-rock through his folk songs, drawing in spellbinding stagecraft and bewitching lyrics. Formerly of Oxford and Reading, he is a regular to BBC Introducing shows. ed lofstedt’s tracks Four Winds [Bright Eyes LIVE cover] by ed lofstedt published on 2018-02-04T15:11:20Z harbours - live at #wedna by ed lofstedt published on 2016-11-04T17:15:16Z sea of japan (you hear my voice)- [fresh cut] by ed lofstedt published on 2016-07-27T17:51:42Z little scandal [2011 cut] by ed lofstedt published on 2016-04-14T19:31:39Z icarus lives by ed lofstedt published on 2016-04-08T21:46:59Z frozen together by ed lofstedt published on 2016-04-08T21:46:58Z song for dropped bombs by ed lofstedt published on 2016-04-08T21:46:53Z
