Carolyn Edwards was one of the founders of the popular post-punk L.A. band, 3D Picnic. After 3D Picnic disbanded, she fronted (playing guitar and singing) the alternative pop quartet Spindle, who played locally to rave reviews. She has also played keyboards for Silver Lake pop heroes The Negro Problem. (See discography page for details.)
Carolyn now performs as a singer/songwriter/pianist, whose darkly-humorous, piano-based songs range in subjects as diverse as Monica Lewinsky, romantic disappointment, the Prozac generation and werewolves. Her upcoming self-titled CD will be released (web-only) Nov. 6, 2005, on True Classical CDs (trueclassicalcds.com). The CD, which Carolyn co-produced with Steve Stanley of The Now People, features performances from some of L.A.'s finest musicians: Nick Walusko, Nelson Bragg and Probyn Gregory (from the Wondermints, Brian Wilson's band), Heather Lockie from Listing Ship/WACO/The Eels, Paul Lacques from I See Hawks In L.A., Marc Doten from Doublenaught Spycar, and many others.

Fantastic-- intense yet pretty
author: Ed Goodstein
Nice to see this here. I think it's one of the mbest albums of '05. It's true it's short-- but so much packed into it that it has more punch than most albums twice as long. I love the way her voice, keyboards & band, pop, country & folk glosses all interact & the intense lyrics and feel. "The Argument" is almost too much to take at times, but one of the best songs I've heard in quite awhile. It's like Leonard Cohen with a pop veneer-- & I mean that as a real compliment. Essential pop album.

"Beauty Wasted" is an instant classic. Carolyn's vocals are, at times, a bit shaky, but in a way that adds to the sincerity in her voice. A slight "Life In a Northern Town" feel (cue the kettle drums), but more minimalistic in approach, with a tinkling piano, and female vocals.
