For those unaware, Dear Therapist, What’s Eating J.Edmond? is a record about taking a hard look at where you’ve been, where you are, and what the hell comes next.

After a successful crowdfunding campaign, plans for several collaborators fell through, and the album took an unexpected turn.

Instead of waiting on a record label to make it happen, J.Edmond decided to release the record himself—taking complete ownership of the music and the journey behind it.

Then life threw a few more curveballs.

An autism diagnosis and a heart attack changed the way J.Edmond looked at himself, his relationships, his career, and the limited amount of time we all get to spend here. Those experiences became part of the DNA of this album: the confusion, the humor, the anger, the grief, the hope, and the realization that sometimes the only way forward is to stop trying to be the person everyone else expects you to be.

The result is an intimate, guitar-driven album that feels less like a collection of songs and more like opening up someone’s journal and finding out they wrote the soundtrack, too.

Across eleven tracks, J.Edmond handles vocals and guitar, joined by an incredible cast of musicians including Fernando Perdomo, A. Michael Collins, Paul Chastain, Danny Henry, and Tommy Hayes.

On a new recording produced by Fernando Perdomo at Forward Motion Studios, the award-winning singer-songwriter opens his new album on the free-flowing, gritty What Are You Afraid Of? and the alt-rocktastic Dear Therapist and then we are gifted the indie sounds of Dreams, the melodious mid-tempo roller Talk (I Suppose I Need To Take A Break) and the spatial masterpiece Living The Dream.

Along next is the dutifully ambient soft rocker Listen In Now which is itself backed seamlessly by the rhythmically pleasing Some Way, the pop-rock foot-tapper Search Lights and the reaching See There, the new set rounding out on the alt-pop of Tie Back Beginnings, coming to a close on the guitar driven rocker Never A Chance.
