BUY REWIND TOMORROW & THE DOOM LOOP HERE
"The Doom Loop is fun, smart and risky, like most genius." - Mike Wood, MusicEmissions.com
"Rocking music for musicians… a little too far out for general consumption." - Hybrid Magazine
"A highly recommended listen." - Losing Today (NYC)
"Unlike many artists who subscribe to the DIY ethic through ambient experimentation and all manner of offbeat effects, The Original Mark Edwards takes a more centered approach that’s less about eccentricity and more about ingenuity." - Lee Zimmerman, Amplifier Magazine
"...something about these tacky cuts isn't very interesting" - Sari Delmar, !Exclaim!
"A lazy rock journalist would say [he sounds like] Radiohead but Mark Edwards is better and far more interesting." - RothnRoll (Sweden)
"'The Doom Loop' [is] a vivid and consistently compelling effort…" - The Onion
"Raggedy laptop pop explored with all the eccentricity of a one-man outfit. Not really laptop in sound, I suppose, but certainly in the collage-style spirit. These songs sound assembled, but that doesn't really detract from their charm. Loopy fun." - Aidabet.com
""[The Doom Loop] has to be one of the tastiest and wackiest records of this young new year." - Chris M. Short, This is Not Entertainment
"The Original Mark Edwards is arguably the most talented tech-driven pop musician in the Twin Cities." - Metro Magazine
"For the record, I liked watching OME. And I think his posture on the floor ingratiated him...like somehow I developed a little love for the man crawling around on the floor twisting knobs and singing." - Marie Martin, Reetsyberger
"'The Doom Loop' achieves a communal essence to even greater effect…the record sounds—feels, even—like the work of many artists playing off each other's quirks. Overdub technology is fairly simple, but it does nothing to get that kind of energy into the tracks. Among Edwards's arsenal of instruments and flashy recording equipment, this is perhaps his most valuable talent." - Chuck Terhark, City Pages
"...he has crafted a follow-up album that not only shows his staying power but also documents an artist who is continuing to grow as an inventive and (dare I say) revolutionary figure in the musical world." - Andrea Myers, Pulse
"Speaking of worldly fears, they make for surprisingly beautiful and harmonious subject matter in the hands of former Domo Sound frontman Mark Edwards….Ironically, it's all played to a soundtrack of sunny, melodic, basement-taped pop-rock reminiscent of Neutral Milk Hotel or Apples in Stereo." - Chris Riemenschneider, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Rewind Tomorrow is a beautiful album. The fact that it's the work of one man, alone, makes it truly amazing." - Tyson Lynn, Splendid
"Frankly, that should be impossible for one guy to pull off in a home studio - that Mark Edwards pulls it off so well on so many of the songs on Rewind Tomorrow, like Hooray! Circling Around Clementine and Can You Believe, is a really astounding achievement." - Dan Filowitz, Lost at Sea
"Brilliant downbeat Brit-pop style songs with pristine production, interesting melodies and soundscapes. Very cool." - Hybrid Magazine
"Edwards experimented with harmonious vocal loops and ambient synth parts as if he were Brian Wilson tinkering on Pro Tools." - Chris Riemenschneider, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Fans of the Cosmic Americana vibe of bands like Grandaddy and Flaming Lips will find plenty of ear candy on "Rewind Tomorrow," as will acolytes of the genre-bending Welsh band Super Furry Animals." - Ross Raihala, St. Paul Pioneer Press
"While not as out-there as the Flaming Lips and not as harmonious as the newest Brian Wilson offering, OME finds a spacious and well-deserved space between these two amazing artists, and offers up a promising first release, hopefully the first of many." - IndieWorkshop.com
"This is one of the year's better albums." - Mike Bennett, Fufkin.com
"And he's a solo musician who has recorded one of the year's best albums, 'Rewind Tomorrow.'" - Rift Magazine
