Edweird has a new record coming soon called, "Some Monster It Geisha!" Look for it this September. Also in Edweird news, he has now joined The Rustbelt Unsemble and will be playing live gigs again. Check our main site for Michigan gig dates.
We will also have a few more recordings coming out over the fall months, and once they are done we will post here and the main site and let you know. Suffice to say, Edweird has been very busy this summer working with plenty of other folks other than himself (including SG Toth, Steve Goossen,and Anthea Leigh).
In As Yet To Be Named news, the next record is in the very early stages of writing. Let‘s hope our disparate band of experimental pranksters can pull it together for a summer release.
If you would like to be e-mailed directly about upcoming releases, shows, or projects please feel free to join our mailing list. Simply send Eddie an e-mail at edweird (AT) speakeasy (DOT) net and put "I need to push the pram a lot" in the subject line.
In other news, we are working on several new releases for the end of summer/early fall. More info to come closer to album completion for each project.
Over the coming weeks we have not one, but two digital releases coming out with the help of our friends here at Tunenami!

The first new release on the schedule is the aforementioned new As Yet To Be Named full length "Keep Me Safe." A lush and swirling noisescape to wet your brain "Keep Me Safe" takes a softer approach to harsh subjects at times, but then hits you in the face at others. From the bombast of "The Ghost of Milton Friedman Haunts New Orleans" to the subtle harmonic explorations of "What Makes the Old Man Cry?" you'll fall in love, in despair, and get angry all at once. A personal favorite and their best record yet. We hope you'll agree.

Our second release of the new year came as a surprise even to us. Edweird served up an EP's worth of material! "The Lonely Road" is a five song document of space noise to chill out with in the dark dank winter nights. Light a candle and put on the headphones kids!
This all happens in January so keep an eye to this page or the Soiled Utilities main page for further updates.
As Yet To Be Named have set a date to mix the new record: December 15th! This one is going to be much gentler than the last one, but won't lack any of the bite. More lush than the last one, with some of the same political slant. The ghost of Milton Friedman should look out. The album cover is almost complete as well, so expect this to be available sometime around the new year!
Our second spring release is now available! Edweird's first ever solo effort "Weights and Measures" is now available in its entirety from Tunenami. The album is based around sonic experiments with a home built analog synth crammed into a 1950's era geiger counter called The Egon. Further dynamics and atmospheric tones were layered in using bass, drum machine, and theremin. This is technically speaking a "noise" record, but it's certainly not as harsh or as inaccessible as some of that genre would be to the average listener. There is even one track at least that may make you want to dance! Weird indeed. This album is for fans of Throbbing Gristle, Merzbow, KK Null, and Z'ev.
