Bed
Everything Hurts
BED is a new band founded in Berlin, at its core, a queer musical project with a sound rooted in shoegaze, dream pop and postpunk. Their lyrics are sad and sexual, weaving together threads of both vulnerability and desire, producing a body of work that challenges normative creative expression. This is exemplified in the vocalizations, which are intentionally gender ambiguous, representing a fluid identity throughout the album. There is a coming-of-age quality to BEDs compositions, a sense of reaching a certain age in life, losing a second virginity across their musical practice, the regaining of innocence and the caring of the wounds of adulthood. There are also narrative aspects that catch the listener, interludes that whisper a secret which gives depth to the storyline of the record - a delicate and yet rough, noisy and still dramatic output that belongs to a sensitive audience, someone looking for deep-felt tunes and autobiographical confessions, paired with post-produced vocals and punchy electronic beats.
