Emotions build and climax in multi-layered outpourings of longing and unrest, through non-traditional themes, forms and song structures that invite multiple listenings and musings. Edwards' style seeks to meld the needs of the intelligent with the more base desire for memorable melodies and catchy hooks. "I don't really think it's necessary to assume that everyone wants trite techniques and lyrics, but snobbery and inaccessibility defeat the whole purpose of sharing with the world...", says Edwards.
