Winston Yellen – who principally leads Night Beds – has uploaded his debut, self-titled EP to Soundcloud.
The EP’s reposting follows Night Beds’ maiden full length effort ‘Country Sleep‘ and was recorded in Colorado Springs at his family home. Just last month, ‘Country Sleep’ was named as one of Live4ever’s Essential Albums of 2013 after our review concluded:
“So ‘Country Sleep’ is a sad album, with a theme that’s been done ad infinitum, and there is the worry that an extended player from someone so young could come across as simply wet and mopey, causing the listener to think ‘oh just bloody well pull yourself together’. However, that is categorically not the case here. It successfully targets the universality of its subject – after all it’s a subject that most in the world can relate to and empathise with.”
“For example, on paper the lyrics of ‘Was I For You’ may seem rather blunt, naïve and simplistic: “Was I for you? I’m still for you, I’m all for you in my heart”, but by setting them against the synth and string quartet combo of its coda, Night Beds brings them to life.”
