Comment: reportedly Impaled Peach was inspired by visiting the dentist. Is it true or not, however, the fact is that Edward Alan Bartholomew has issued approximately a dozen of albums on CLLCT and Daydream Generation/Quixodelic records to date. Furthermore, he is an unsung musician who deserves much more acclaim for sure. For example, let`s listen to this, 17-piece album. This can be considered a sort of folk release, yet, being quite far from functioning and running alongside the usual frontiers of folk music. More profoundly, by its approach it is minimal guitar-driven folk (or folk indie), yet, below the stringed layers can be heard shitloads of electronically treated and buzzing noise effects. As the whole , however, it used to amplify the listener`s emotions up to. If you are intended for searching of Bartholomew`s kindred souls, you could recognize Wilco`s impact on it. At any rate, Impaled Peach is an outstanding album.
