Artist Margot And The Nuclear So And So's

Stephanie Bassos
Despite Margot And The Nuclear So And So’s stage-crowding pile of keys, horns, strings, and harmonies, leader Richard Edwards’ songs would just as soon turn inward, budding from melancholic tales that come off as part-earnest, part-fantasy. On the fourth Margot album, Buzzard, Edwards seemingly finds his spine, kicking harder and indulging a heretofore unseen bluesy side, while still retaining the baroque cutesiness of past records on songs like “Tiny Vampire Robot” and “My Baby (Cares For The Animals).” Edwards reconfigured much of the band’s lineup for Buzzard, which is probably why the guitars behind his retiring vocals have a restored roar. The band is currently collecting pledges to help get its forthcoming album out.
