Brisbane avant-garde battle-cat Edward Guglielmino has been working his threadbare muso pants off in recent months, self distributing releases to one fan at a time, clashing with corporate giants over logo designs, and squeezing every last beer from riders all over Australia.

With the hard yards notched up, phase two of Ed G’s plan for world domination kicks in on May 8th, with a world release of his latest offering, Late At Night. Released physically in Australia through MGM, with worldwide downloads available via SugarRush, Ed’s unique brand of jangly abstract-rock will be given a chance to win over the masses, after capturing a sizeable online audience including an über-contingent of Germans.

Described as a ‘triumphant debut album’ by critics, Late At Night drags the listener along on a ragged journey which is at once raw with sentiment yet defiantly cohesive. Lead single ‘Rhythm Of Life’ brings a steady backbeat to a release laden with late night overtones, conjuring the image of a wine glass strewn keyboard in the wee hours providing company for Ed’s crooning. ‘Lion In Your Bed’ provides an anguished ultimatum between wallowing in a guitar riff tuned to heartbreak or indulging in humorous word play imagery. And although self-depreciating ode to dysfunction ‘Fail With Me’ may forebode future failure, fail is something Edward Guglielmino is simply not programmed to do.

Stay up Late At Night with Edward Guglielmino from May 8th; the part of every music fan that empathises with the struggling-artist-gets-a-break concept demands it.

Late At Night Album Reviews:

‘Late At Night is a progressive, often noirish album with a palpable intellectual edge and will go down a treat with anyone who eschews the radio waves in search of true art.”
(4 Stars) Justin Grey – Time Off Magazine

‘There’s no doubting the professionalism Guglielmino has brought to the table with Late At Night – even if you’ve never heard of him, upon hearing the album, you’ll probably wonder why you haven’t.”
Adam Dodd – Tom Magazine

‘Edward Guglielmino has crafted a cohesive, intimate and gorgeously obscure masterpiece, merely for the fact that whether he recorded a vocal take in a hotel room or in the early hours of a subway in Rome, he has remained authentic as an artist and a true visionary.”
Jonathan B – Faster Louder

‘Guerrilla gigs, snarky emails and generally doing whatever he wants onstage, this type of action is only excusable if the music is good enough. Upon listening to Mr G’s diffuse and caustic new album, I now give him permission to unleash his inner eccentric.’
Mitch Alexander – Rave Magazine
