about
Edward Bostitch is a coupla 15-year-olds who might be the accidental Velvet Underground. This guy Alex, he taught himself piano in a week. The other kid, Benny ("Be"), he got a stack of 9th grade poems with Cs and Ds on top and hair like a squid. After school they get in the bathtub and knock out wobbly lo-fi dirges, one after the other like cans on a fence, right off the tops of their crumby heads. Vocals are way underwater and at least seven layers deep, set to halfass Casio heartbeats, rusty crybaby accordion, pencil scratch percussion, whatever they got around, apparently. The songs, with their long gone, dislocated lyrics, stumble out - against the odds - with this wild far off sound that, by virtue of its innocence, comes across bracing, religious and desperate. Like their pubescent heads'd bust if they didn't let it out. Listen up. -Daniel Arnold https://web.archive.org/web/20080208232118/http://rcrdlbl.com/2008/02/05/exclusive_download_edward_bostitch_balderdash Benny Arnold from Edward Bostitch is now currently in a band (as of 2024 and 2025) called Impish Tips. https://impishtips.bandcamp.com/album/impish-tips User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
