BED Record Release Show @ Berghain Kantine

BED is a new band founded in Berlin, at its core, a queer musical project with a sound rooted in shoegaze, dream pop and post punk. 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. “everything hurts” is 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.

Support: Branes Branes is a sci-fi-oriented pop project by Patricia Bondesson Kavanagh and Alcuin Stevenson, with songs as transmissions to other worlds. Navigating pop synths with oneiric rhythms and the distant signals of voices, we drive for a sound both futuristic and emotionally grounded, where the gravitational axis begins to kilter.
