MINOTAUR SHOCK The Wild West
Interview with David Edwards
Four years ago, David Edwards appeared from nowhere with a series of EPs and a debut album, released under his Minotaur Shock guise on Manchester-based label Melodic. Thanks to his beautifully crafted blend of electronica largely tainted with acoustic instrumentation, he rapidly gained recognition, and the release of an album compiling his first three EPs only served to reinforce his position. Having moved to legendary label 4AD, the Minotaur returns with a new, more mature, sound. We took the opportunity to get the man talking about his work, his influences… and FM rock!
