Edin by Paul McLaney
Marking a return to his solo roots, acoustic guitar in hand, “Edin” featured the willing assistance of bass player Richie Pickard, drummer Nick Gaffney, and producer extraordinaire Dale Cotton. Together, they've created an atmosphere and ambience that made “Edin” one of McLaney's most reflective and personal albums.
Recorded virtually live in the old NZBC studios, McLaney's emotive, distinctive voice and guitar playing are placed way out in front, resulting in a warm, intimate listen. Adding to the already beautiful songs are the superb string arrangements of Graeme Downes (previously of the Verlaines), which, on tracks like 'Pick up the Pieces' lift the music to a new level, pulling at the heartstrings in only the way beautifully crafted music can.

There is truth in simplicity. Breathing in, breathing out. There is wisdom in naivety. Instinct wrestles with knowledge. Songs in the bellies of acoustic guitars. Meditations in every
moment we allow them the space to bloom. As the North attracts the needle, that persistent
pull towards one’s own personal legend.
