Edmund Cake "Downtown Puff" 2005

Ed McWilliams, or Edmund Cake, is a composer, musician, singer, songwriter and producer who has carved out a part of New Zealand's cultural territory and made it his own: a place where mainstream pop intersects with abstract absurdity, flavoured with a singular method and his distinctive style...
...The surreal/singalong-pop psychedelia of Bressa Creeting Cake (with Geoff Maddock and Joel Wilton) and Pie Warmer (with Tamasin Taylor of the Nudie Suits); production work with Anika Moa, Anna Coddington, Neil and Tim Finn, Tim Guy, The Brunettes and Rick Bryant; collaborations with Neil Finn and Don McGlashan; and his solo work as Edmund Cake mark out a strange and varied terrain dotted with sunny hillsides, boggy swamps, bushy barns, suburban super-malls, derelict downtowns and beatnik hangouts. Let’s go for a wander.
“All you really need for a band practice is power, and just one plug will do when you are a three-piece band." - John Pain and AudioCulture
