Edna Million
In the organizer's words:
"Put this name right at the top: Edna Million will be with us for a long time." -Lisa Schneider, FM4
"It's all about thevoice. That's how the colleagues at FM4 became aware of the 21-year-old Viennese and Berlin student Edna Million, in other words they discovered this diamond in the rough. Because you always like to listen when young women sing Tom Waits. She can do it - and with goosebumps. After a first EP, it will be exciting to see where Edna Million's voice develops in 2023. Will the beats come underneath or will it stay with the acoustic guitar?I only know what Tom Waits would want." -Thomas Mehringer, Zündfunk
That voice! That timbre!!! That expression!!! The Viennese moved to Berlin to study. There she recorded her first EP as Edna Million. "The Panther Walks In Circles", together with "Rattling Coins", can be heard on the debut. It is extremely sparsely instrumented, mostly with acoustic guitar only, leaving enough space for the brittle, brittle vocals. Goosebumps! Edna has since moved on to the country where her grandmother ran a hotel - "She Uses To Run A Hotel" is the title of the song. She now lives in Gothenburg.
The name "Edna" is not an allusion to Sweden, it comes from a Tom Waits song from his famous "Rain Dogs" album: "Jockey Full Of Bourbon" ("Edna Million in a drop-dead suit"). As FM4 colleague Robert Rotifer so aptly puts it: "The androgynous timbre of her dark voice radically breaks with gender expectations without ever losing its composure." The record was produced by sound artist Kalle Laar, who commutes between Munich and Vienna. He had previously produced Ernst Molden, who plays second guitar on the title track. He brings out what she has and is: the voice of wonder, the wonder of voice! (Ralf Summer)
