The Bedside Morale Announces Debut EP “Still Life”, Shares New Song “Yours Sincerely”
Bristol-based indie-rock band The Bedside Morale, consisting of Tim Kazer (vocals/guitar), Charlie Dowzell (lead guitar), Kynan Scott (bass) and Aden Dennis (drums), has announced their debut EP “Still Life” will be released on July 26, 2024.
The EP comprises a 4-track, in which the band recorded with producer Josh Gallop at Stage 2 Studios.
The band guitarist Charlie Dowzell said of the EP, “The lyrics are true to life and conversational in nature; We had a lot of fun exploring new themes and sounds for this EP and the reflection of honesty from within and love for our craft were the driving forces - it just so happened that the EP culminated in a freeze-frame of where we, as individuals and a collective, were at time of writing.”- The band frontman Tim Kazer added, “I’m trying to write more that matters to me, lyrics that I can deliver from my chest. For this EP I wanted to write songs that reflect life, or some aspect of it. Songs that are real and that are true to it. There’s moments of love and of pain and it’s all heartfelt. I think maybe I feel some sort of need to come back to authenticity and I can say, hand on whole heart, that every song here is authentically us.”
From the EP, the band released a new song “Yours Sincerely” along with a music video on July 12, 2024.
The track was written by Tim Kazer, Charlie Dowzell, Kynan Scott, and Aden Dennis. produced by Josh Gallop.
The accompanying video was directed by GLKMedia. -
Tim Kazer said of the song, “Lyrically Yours Sincerely was a really tough song to write. Kynan had come in with the song framework and that beautiful bass line. It felt sad and quiet to me, dejected I guess, and I knew what I wanted to write about I just had no idea how to do it. I think like a lot of people I dealt with the trauma I had faced by detaching myself from it. I stood in the rafters so to speak. I could say the words and tell people what happened but in some way I was pretending that wasn’t me. But that’s not what felt right for this song. I wanted the song to be in conversation with that person, a chance, albeit not face to face, to say all the things I never knew enough to. So I had to force myself to really feel it. I tried to not shy away from putting it to paper, or wrap it up in clever wordplay, which was hard because it meant accepting the reality of it and how little control I had. There are still some lines in this song that, if I spend too long focussing on, utterly break me. So that’s Yours Sincerely. A song about trying to love, in spite of all the turmoil.”
