Last autumn, at an experimental clinic in Chicago, Richard Edwards (Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s) sat with an IV in his arm, ketamine slipping its way into his obstinate body. Not long before that, also there, in the windy city he’d once called home during the zenith of his Margot days, he had a doctor pop a nerve in his neck. When asked if it worked, Richard says that it didn’t not work. Our bodies and minds go through crucibles of varying kinds as we live, and we get good at taking the licks, but something remains below skin. Even when we’re in love: there is a current of pain that we pretend not to feel, humming. What would it feel like, to tap into that current–not with fear, but with courtesy and steady attention? Could we not use it as a power source of some type? Richard Edwards went on a trip last year, and then a new record fell out.

From 2018-2020, Richard Edwards bought an old house and proceeded to not leave it while he wrote an album about a series of dreams he'd been having while bringing this old house back to life. Over two years, a series of short stories set to music began to emerge. These stories, more or less, are about what happens after the end of something. All the ports your little boat finds itself docked to when you're in uncharted waters. How the stars looks when you're lost on an ocean. "The Soft Ache And The Moon" is dance party about the end of the world and what comes next. For best results, listen loud.
