Dead Oceans are incredibly excited to welcome NIGHT BEDS to their family.
Here’s the official word:
Led by 23-year old songwriter, Winston Yellen, Night Beds hail from Nashville, TN by way of Colorado Springs. Winston boasts a new, great American voice with a specific brand of intimate thirst that few musicians possess.
Today, we get the pleasure of hearing Night Bedsโ first single โEven If We Try.โ Itโs only fitting this stunning single was recorded in the former Hendersonville home of country-music legend, Johnny Cash. Watch Winston and lap-steel musician, Caleb Hickman, perform โEven If We Tryโ live in a church โ youโll find the video below or stream the audio version below.
โEven If We Tryโ comes out tomorrow as the a-side to the groupโs new 7-inch. The b-side features โYou Were Afraidโ โ the first song a then 18-year old Winston wrote with Night Beds in mind. The 7-inch will be available digitally at Dead Oceans Sounds Dripfm or get your physical copy at SC Distribution.
Catch Night Beds live on tour. Theyโll kick of a short run of dates at next week at Louisvilleโs Zanzabar and finish up at New Yorkโs Mercury Lounge. The schedule includes performances at Pygmalion and Midpoint festivals! Full list of dates below!
