GLOBAL SICKNESS, available via Idioteque Records. On the album, listeners will find the sterling single, ‘Inner Love‘, ‘Endlessly‘ and ‘Time Is God‘.

Endlessly

‘Endlessly’ opens with cheerful, percussive rhythms before dissolving into an intricate web of deep basslines, jerky electronic embellishments as a driving mood of optimism. Ed is Dead complements organic soundscapes with rising tones of drama and playful vocals, guiding the listener into an upward spiral of joy and freedom.
