Edmonton Aylers started out as a two-piece band in 2004. The uniting of Burt
and Simon took place at a slightly peculiar location, a daycare centre in
Stockholm, where Burt stashed his kids and Simon supposedly took care of them.
Having a mutual interest for lo-fi recording methods, The Sensational Alex
Harvey Band, Prince, Wilco, collecting curious records and evidently
beer-drinking, they led themselves to believe that they could also compose
splendid music together. Having been in bands for most of their fairly adult
lives, they just might have been right.
In 2006 the all-male-non-vocal-combo felt that they needed some talent in the
band and contacted Burt's previous band-mate Cia. Later that year she was
accepted as a fulltime, valid member of the band.
After a gig in September 2008 the band found, again, that it could benefit from having some
talent around and elected hired help, multi-instrumentalist Peter, to be a real
member of the band. And then they were four. The quartet now composes a subtle
mix of ambient lo-fi, folk, pop, sometimes instrumental, sometimes not - music
with an anything goes-attitude in Burt’s small, but with gadgets plentifully
equipped, studio.
Enjoy!
