Wellknown facts:

- 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.
