Alex Edkins (Weird Nightmare) by Ryan Thompson
“’Lusitania’ was a big breakthrough for the entire Weird Nightmare album,” Alex Edkins says.
Metz singer and guitarist Alex Edkins is streaming Lusitania as he prepares to release his self-titled Weird Nightmare album on May 20th.
Whilst the songs for this new project were recorded during lockdown, some of them date much further back to 2013 and Edkins is at pains to avoid the tag of it being a ‘pandemic album’.
“I had always planned on finishing these songs, but being unable to tour with METZ, and forced to lock down, really gave me a push,” he explains.
“It was a godsend for me. The hours would disappear and I would get lost in the music and record. It was a beautiful escape.”
