Sweet Undertow Days Without Names

Eddy Undertow, as he is called, could be The Most Interesting Man In Music. We would assume that he'd bristle at the idea being, if not humble, then properly reserved, but the truth is in the story and, to a large extent, in the songs contained in Days Without Names, Sweet Undertow's sophomore album set for release in on July 17, 2026. The album is a cinematic document of a wide-eyed quest for something universal yet tantalizingly undefined, channeled through authentic, bluesy Americana. Recorded at the all-analog studio of producer John Vanderslice (Death Cab for Cutie, Deerhoof, Spoon etc.), it was wrapped up literally the day before the 2020 lockdown shuttered the world. The idea that Days Without Names poses, in it's roundabout way, is that in this meaningless void in which we float- it matters. It matters how you treat people. It matters to be kind. It matters that you try and love. Each layer from the unfathomably vast to the unfathomably tiny is real and matters to itself. People exist; joy and despair are real; you have the power to increase or decrease these in others and yourself. It matters to try and live, to be kind, to temper suffering and to love."When asked what feeling he'd like the listener to be left with after the stylus comes up, Eddy simply says, "That there is hope, even for people."
