NIGHT BEDS – Monday, February 4th @ 6PM
Night Beds is the Nashville-based vehicle for Winston Yellen. After releasing 3 sparse EPs, Yellen lost a job and a girlfriend and spent a period living out of his car, eking out a living while on the road. He eventually returned to his adopted hometown of Nashville and, in a stroke of good fortune, he was able to rent a pre-civil war home in the woods that counts among its former owners none other than Johnny Cash and June Carter. “There are analogies here, if you care to draw them, with how Justin Vernon came to put together Bon Iver’s heartrending For Emma, Forever Ago. What’s more, both singers are in possession of uncommonly gorgeous voices, not to mention a gift for space and for atmosphere – for knowing when to let a song breathe.” –BBC. Night Beds is set to release its full-length debut “Country Sleep” on Feb. 5. Of first single “Ramona”, Pitchfork states: “Yellen yowls as a sighing guitar lead descends over a folk-rock thrum that honors his local roots before breaking into a billowy dream-pop coda.” Night Beds will perform at Grimey’s the day before and you’ll be able to buy the album early here at the in-store
