Music Review: Jason Kao Hwang/EDGE - Stories Before Within - Page 2

“Third Sight” has an Asian feel from birth as it marches its way forth. The sound is full and amiable, teeming with Korean influences. “Embers” serenely closes out the record with a sort of sorrow and gravity, as though behind a funeral procession. Perhaps we’re mourning the ill-fated victim of the murder from “Cloud Call.”

Hwang and EDGE meld together impeccably as a quartet, drawing potency from weakness and producing splendidly lingering sounds for the tenure of this enchanting record. The title, Stories Before Within, perfectly expresses the storytelling that takes place here, as the tales absorb themselves in the spirit of the listener and surpass time to dwell in the province possessed only by imagination.
