Edley ODowd announces ‘Kowai-Yet’ solo album, due November 26 on Arsenic Solaris

Edley ODowd, formerly of Psychic TV, announces his second solo album “Kowai-Yet,” releasing November 26, 2026 via Arsenic Solaris. Recorded over three years in multiple locations, the seven-track ambient and experimental record shifts from the sound-collage approach of his 2022 debut “F(our)-Ward” toward a more emotional register combining joy and sadness. The album title derives from a summer night drive where ODowd heard crickets against car tires, merging the Japanese word “kowai” (scary) with “quiet.” Individual tracks feature various collaborators including engineer Joo Joo Ashworth, Gore Tech, singer Zoah, and Andrew Mann. “Kowai-Yet” will be available as a digital album and a limited pink vinyl edition of 200 copies. ODowd, who grew up near New York City and played in bands including The Butterflies and Toilet Boys, also works as a graphic designer and mental health counselor.
