Founder, vocalist and main songwriter for The Legendary Pink Dots, Edward Ka-Spel has long forged an equally prolific career as a solo artist given to sometimes exploring similar sonic realms as his group.

Known as someone unafraid to venture wherever he pleases, his work has long traversed the more outward-bound areas of electronic music, psychedelia, hypnotic rock, Kosmische sounds and the avant-garde. Sewn into all of this is Edward's fantastic grasp of spinning a twilight tale or spiralling deep into the mind's recesses to craft a song from comparatively nimble melodies and words of Kafka-esque proportions into a strikingly rich blend.

"Tales from the Trenches" collects eight tracks of a personal nature, mostly pinned into place by some refined electro rhythms, molten cosmic textures, plaintive strings, introspective keys and a late night hue that sways effortlessly between the beautiful, haunted and even sweat-ravaged dancefloor. Everything may at first feel ominous or sombre in tone, but there’s also a glimmer of hope laid bare in all its sun-drenched glory poking between the cracks.
