Biography
Elysian Piers, aka Ed Mead, was fully realized in 2008 in the sunny city of Brighton, UK, with the intention to create intelligent, emotional and evocative music that explores various genres and sounds; blending elements of IDM, classical and progressive shoegaze.
Having been influenced by the music of such bands as Sigur Ros, Amusement Parks on Fire and M83 has led to the unique sound of Elysian Piers.
