The musical trajectory
that is E.D. Sedgwick is a nice little ride. In the beginning, 1999 to be exact, the act was dubbed Edie
Sedgwick and featured constant mainstay Justin Moyer along with collaborator
Ryan Hicks doing jazzy post-punk tunes about celebrities. Some time went by and Mr. Moyer picked
back up solo in 2004 with more songs about celebrities in a sparse-dancey-electronic
fashion. In 2011 Justin picked up
a band, stopped singing about celebrities and started adding more rock elements
back into the fold. That brings us
to ‘We Wear White’, the latest effort from the newly spelled E.D. Sedgwick,
courtesy of the always-interesting Dischord Records. The album features Moyer (who goes by E.D. Sedgwick btw) on
guitar/vox, JosaFeen Wells on vox, Kristina Buddenhagen on bass/vox and Jess
Matthews on drums. ‘We Wear White’
is a fantastic album of art and aesthetic. Angular and soulful, the band perfectly executes a unique
sound that is as full of attitude as it is memorable hooks. Tight rhythms, call-and-response
vocals, clever lyrics and jagged guitar propel the album from start to
finish. Everything that E.D.
Sedgwick hinted it could be over the years has now come to fruition. If you’re looking for something fresh
and creative, look no further than ‘We Wear White’.
