The Wretched Edsels – Self-Titled CD EP (Self-Released)

The first physical release from this LA quintet is a four-tune EP with an 11-minute runtime. My first impression was, “This sounds like California.” It’s chill. It’s calm. Can you picture a barefoot walk along the beach with palm trees waving gently in the breeze while the waves crash against the shore?

Musically, I pick up strong Latin flavors in “Echo Mountain,” and “The Sleepless Motel.” “Carm and Claire,” two characters in the Hulu series, The Bear, is a bit more vigorous and has stronger rock ‘n roll influences. The longest track, and the only one with vocals, “A Turk in Seville,” has a more Mediterranean sound, as you might expect. The twin guitars offer a fuller, integrated sound while the rhythm section provides a steady, propulsive pulse.

The CD is nestled in the pocket of a gatefold sleeve which is adorned with images of various Edsel automobiles. For lovers of history, a photograph of Edsel Ford graces the back cover. Elsewhere, the band's logo takes its cues from the discontinued Ford brand.
