Biography
(1998 – present)
Edson was formed by Pelle Carlberg in the summer of 1998, and he named the band after the great soccer player Edson Arantes do Nascimento, i.e. Pelé. The first couple of months the piano took a prominent part in the sound, giving the songs a tangible jazz pop flavour. Initially the band was Pelle’s solo project, but since then it has more and more developed into a democratic unity, with Pelle as the songwriter and lead singer.
In december of 1999 the band got the formation it has today: Pelle sings, Filip Carvell plays the acoustic and the electric guitar and sings, Helena Söderman plays the flute, melodica, harmonica, glockenspiel, Wurlitzer and sings, Mårten Josjö plays the electric guitar, Mats Deltin plays the bass and Ulf Lundberg the drums.
In 1999 Edson made about 30 live appearances, e.g. one at the demo stage of the Hultsfred festival in Sweden. After the performance Edson met John Cloud, who was interested in releasing something on his label Stormstreet records. In September a four-track EP was released containing the songs
Sunday, Lovely Sunday, I Didn´t Mean to be Mean,
22:22 {We Need a Quarrel, We Need a Fight} and Terry Whips.
The same year the band contributed with two songs on the compilation CD The Sound Of Young Sweden and with one song each on Sound Affects Magazine’s »Hultsfred special-CD« and the »Demoscenen«-CD of the Hultsfred festival. The Sunday, Lovely Sunday EP was also released by Matinée Recordings in the US, but with a slightly different tracklist.
