Biography

PINHEAD POP / RETARD ROCK

Only Ed and The Almost was created in 2003, following a lengthy gestation, from one human bean named Ed. The artist was born of ignorance, making it up as he went along, hoping--like a fine wine--to improve with age instead of turning into rancid vinegar. Earthlings all over the planet (except in South America) have purchased his music. Why does South America hate Only Ed and The Almost? Nobody knows. Ed is working on Antarctica, but the penguins have no thumbs or electricity. This makes for a problematic listening experience.

Only Ed and The Almost has released five albums. That's four of them below. That's why you're here, unless your visit is a horrible mistake. Maybe you should listen to a few of the miserly 30-second song samples anyway and try to make an informed choice based on this severely limited information. Or you could visit his bandcamp page ( http://onlyedandthealmost.bandcamp.com/ ) where the songs are full-length. What a concept!

In summary, Ed tried to write the kind of music he himself would listen to if it were written by somebody else.
Was it good enough? That's for others to say.

Music

Never Learns
2007
Only Ed and The Almost's 4th album, NEVER LEARNS, goes where Ed has gone before and a few places where Ed has never gone but has always wanted to if he could afford it. Poppy, jazzy, meaty, fibrous and sometimes cheesy. In a good way.

So Far, So Almost
2004
"Giddy pleasure overtakes you when listening to the music of Only Ed. It's full of geeky irony without a hint of pretense -- it pokes fun but with a sense of humor and self-deprecation. Good times are sure to be had by all." -CNET Music Downloads
