Career
Eden wrote the far left leaning lyrics of the band. Eden explained the approach to songwriting in McCarthy: "Gary did the drums, although Tim and I used to give him suggestions. I put the lyrics on last.
Some of the songs I wrote on my own, like ‘Frans Hals’", also saying, "almost all of the McCarthy songs are sung by a "character", like a character in a play.
I often don’t agree with the sentiments expressed in the song, quite the reverse". He later formed the short-lived Herzfeld, who released an European Parliament and a 10-inch album on the Duophonic label.
In 2005, he contributed vocals to two tracks, "Where You Are", and "True Light", to That Summer"s Clear album.
