Exclusive Single Premiere: Ed Wells “Swirl” (2016)

Atmospheric, enveloping and lush. Three words that can easily describe Ed Wells’ new single, “Swirl”. The latest piece of music from the Sydney songwriter blends some deep electronic production with a stunning vocal that builds with each lyric. In a similar vein to the likes of James Blake and Ben Howard, Wells’ uses the almost three minute run time of “Swirl” to conjure up a soundscape that pulls the listener in and refuses to let go.

A gorgeous soul quality comes through the folk/indie vibe of the tune too, no doubt largely thanks to Wells’ melt-worthy vocals.

In any case, this one is worth your time if you’re into some haunting, yet beautiful new music.
