Edwin Organ, Scotland on Sunday, 8 January 2017

Published in Scotland On Sunday, 8 January 2017 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com [in association with Musician' Union] EDWIN ORGAN Artist of the Week in Scotland On SundayThe death of a rosemary plant is an unlikely inspiration for a song about loss, but then Edwin Organ is no ordinary artist.Originally hailing from Dunfirmline, where he spent several years recording house tracks, his move to Glasgow has led to decidedly left-field take on electronica.This is particularly evident on the ode to the culinary herb, titled Serenade, which sees a pacey rhythm and engaging double bassline, underpin a vocal style which will remind older listeners of OMD and the younger musical connoisseurs, of C Duncan.Already attracting interest from big record labels and booking agents, not to mention Swedish House Mafia’s Axewell, he will be in session on Radio Scotland’s Vic Galloway show on 13 February and is expected to play live as a three piece act, around the same time.Based on what we’ve heard so far, Edwin Organ could well be 2017’s most original breakthrough act.Check out the video for Serenade below or click: http://bit.ly/2iEa5Ul Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the Born To Be Wide the music scene seminar and social night www.borntobewide.co.uk Under the Radar is in association with Musicians' Union Musicians' Union - Behind Every Musician.
