1998年夏天，Pelle Carlberg组建了Edson，乐队名字来源于着名英国球星Edson Arantes。 在1999年9月他们的第一张EP发行了。同年，在合集《The Sound of Young Sweden》中发行了两首歌，这两首歌使得乐队在瑞典一夜成名。他们的EP、《Sunday》、《lovelysunday》在美国再次发行。 与其说Edson主音略显尖细嗓音使其像是稚气未脱的青涩少年，不如说更像个刚开始有点迷惘紧张的十来岁的假小子。这支年轻的瑞典乐队近两年来受到各大独立音乐媒体的一致赞许。 在Edson那里我们找不到任何做实验的前卫的音乐的企图，歌词里展示的也都是一些少年不识愁滋味的无所事事的伤春悲秋。但这种看似矫情的可爱姿态又是年少时代心绪的诚挚表白，谁的年轻时代没有故作的多愁善感呢。 像我们常听到的那些英国民谣和独立流行乐队一样，Edson也是用声音乾乾净净的吉他、贝司、长笛、口琴记录下自己梦幻时代心灵成长的一路印迹。 Edson's delicate debut celebrates a light, naturalistic approach to well-arranged chamber pop. Frontman Pelle Carlberg's influences have certainly worn with time, from Lee Hazlewood to Nick Drake, but just as Belle & Sebastian shape a small sound out of a large band, Edson pitched a dozen different instruments towards sparse acoustica. Flutes, electric guitars, glockenspiels, and harmonicas are fused to the band's thin, unassuming compositions. The fact that the album was released on Valentine's Day in their native Sweden suggests a sweet, vivid thing, but unfortunately Unwind With Edson was very much aloof, something too self-conscious to really work, and an attempt to disguise the band's eccentricities with dull formalism and a shy twinkle of the eye. （by Dean Carlson）
