- Edgar Wappenhalter is indeed Steve Marreyt, co-founder of
belgian psych-rockers Sylvester Anfang, and the Funeral Folk
label, and is currently working for the kraak-label
- after leaving Sylvester Anfang II last year, Steve focussed
on a string of tape-releases as Edgar Wappenhalter, his psychedelic
fuzzed out dronefolk act, released on labels as divers as Goaty
Tapes, Cabin Floor Esoterica and Young Girls Records.
- On The Beach is Wappenhalter's vinyl debut.
Lesser known facts:
- Steve debuted ten years ago on morc, with a comp-track of
his band Elo vs Saturn, and did a few eps as John Merrick Band
on Morc as well
- Although Wappenhalter creates a psychedelic sound world, he
uses a very straight-ahead approach.

Edgar
Wappenhalter: "On the beach"
12" lp - released october 2010
On The Beach brings a perfect symbiosis of Wappenhalter's
reverb-drenched folksongs, and his ecstatic tapeloop-experiments.
Expect plenty of songs that blend shoegaze and psychfolk,
or that sound like a beachparty heard from so far away
that you can't tell what the dj is playing, only that
it sounds familiar and that you like it.
