Ed started Shelflife more than 15 years ago as a way to bring international pop bands to the US. Everything is still done with the same DIY aesthetics from the beginning. And the catalog keeps getting bigger and bigger, featuring an amazing range of independent artists of the past decade or so - think A Smile and A Ribbon, Thieves Like Us, Burning Hearts (and the amazing Aboa Sleeping), The Proctors, Days (and the life changing Downhill EP)...
Apart from running the label, Ed also is part of Tears Run Rings.
Today he posted this list on his blog with a podcast with the 20 best songs of the year.
