Edgar Hurley’s third record, 'Sissy Fairy Faggot Folk Singer', recorded and produced between Demetry Malahoff’s Studio on Camp Mountain in the Samford Valley of QLD and Edgar’s home in Thornbury (Naarm), hails Edgar’s return at their most formidable yet. These are a meticulously realised collection of folk songs delicately crafted by Edgar Hurley and friends that touch on collective personal tales and social commentaries on the complexities and the sometimes horrifying realities of living with a chronic illness, depression, poverty, social oppression and constantly regulated and scrutinised sexuality, to wrestling with their own liberations and freedoms from the chains of societal expectations, and how to survive in a dangerous and visceral world that has built its systems to keep people like Edgar - a non-binary, non-conforming, queer writer, creative and sex worker - down and out. We explore how shedding from these social and societal restrictions can be both devastating for industry and industrial growth, but also devastatingly freeing for the spirit.
