“If I could buy everyone in the world an album, The Trials of Van Occupanther would be it, from Midlake.”

Edith Bowman’s current favourite band hail from Texas and their latest album shows traces of 1970’s influence. “They are the most perfect band in the world.”

Live music is “like a drug” for Edith and she tries to see as many gigs as possible. “I love going to gigs on my own. It’s empowering in a way because you don’t have to worry about anyone else having a good time.”

“There’s so much great stuff coming out of Britain right now,” Edith tells t5m, and the secret to her taking notice of a song is if it connects in some way: “makes me feel some kind of emotion.”
