DeYarmond Edison Pt. 2 - Epoch Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

Secretly Society presents a four-episode mini-series about friendship, music, and a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming alike - DeYarmond Edison. This series is narrated by the author, a friend of the band, and executive producer of the DeYarmond Edison official boxset 'Epoch', Grayson Haver Currin. This episode starts us off with DeYarmond Edison's move to Raleigh, North Carolina, a town with a buzzing music scene including the likes of The Rosebuds, Bowerbirds, and Ticonderoga. Hear the stories of the beginning of The Bickett Gallery Residency that at points was described as a "spiraling through concentric circles of disorder pushing the standard until it indeed almost broke". Joe brought in themes of improvisation learned at Bennington College, Phil taught the band Delta Blues and strings, Brad played with the idea of 20th-century ambient sounds in the style of Steve Reich's composition, and Justin challenged everyone's vocal capacity - including his own. The previously undisclosed story of the band that branched off into indie music legends, Megafaun and Bon Iver!

Show notes

Secretly Society presents a four-episode mini-series about friendship, music, and what happens when a band comes apart. This is a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming alike - this is the lore of DeYarmond Edison. This series is narrated by the author, a friend of the band, and executive producer of the DeYarmond Edison official boxset Epoch, Grayson Haver Currin. This episode starts us off with four high schoolers: Justin Vernon, Joe Westerlund, Phil Cook, and Brad Cook, on the precipice of their musical careers as members of the groups Mount Vernon and, ultimately, the formation of DeYarmond Edison. Hear the stories of the possibly unsightly recording of the self-titled album in the First Presbyterian Church, band rivalries, and the loyalty that set them on the path to leaving their homes in Eau Claire to push the limits of their collective capabilities. The previously undisclosed story of the band that branched off into indie music legends, Megafaun and Bon Iver!
