This Saturday, April 1, Edwards will celebrate the album's release with a sold out performance at Rough Trade NYC.
The album was produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Cass McCombs, Beck) in Los Angeles, and features a stellar lineup of musicians including Pete
Thomas (Elvis Costello) on drums and guitar work from Mike Bloom (Jenny Lewis).
Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset was inspiried by a traumatic and tumultuous time in Edwards life that involved a diagnosis of a rare and potentially fatal ailment called C. diff and a divorce that soon followed. Edwards recently penned a feature for the website The Talkhouse about this time in his life, and you can also read an impassioned biography about the album written by his close friend Rhett Miller.
The album has been embraced by The Line of Best Fit, Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine and more.
Recently, Edwards relesed the song "Strange," with Our First 100 Days, a charity subscription release that shares one rare, unreleased, or exclusive song during Trump's first 100 days in office. The release has featured artists such as
Angel Olsen, Mitski, and Whitney, and raises funds and awareness for organizations supporting causes that are under threat by the proposed policies of a Trump administration. The project was started in conjunction with Secretly Group and 30 Songs, 30 Days.
Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset is currently available for pre-order via Richard Edwards' official site and Joyful Noise.
