One Song

Brass Bed

I Am Just a Whisper

Joel Frieders | October 29, 2015

Did you send me this?

Where did I get this?

I came into work this morning and the soundcloud page was open and I don't remember anyone sending me this, I can't find any hits in my gmail when I search for Brass Bed or "I Am Just a Whisper", I don't follow either the band or the label on any social media thing. Where the fuck did this come from? That blasted Obama must've sent this to my workstation overnight. Thanks Obama!

Imagine the reverby and dull, yet shiny reverberations of a Cure song, but without the whispy hair or desire to punch the singer. Then imagine my beloved Solid Gold, with their gentle yet plodding rhythms. Now put those two things together, add about 15 to the bpm, turn the tone knob down 35%, and slam your chin into your chest repeatedly.

THIS IS BRASS BED. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MY HEAD? I'm both head banging and shoving both fists so far into my pockets my pulled up hood is stretching tight down over my ears giving me the look of a cave dwelling hipster from Portland, but I didn't buy organic creamer for my fair trade coffee this morning. "I Am Just a Whisper" is fucking dooooooooope. Sounding like something straight out of a cloudy day at work where you're scheduled to leave early, it's bleak but HELL YEAH I'M OFF IN LIKE FOUR HOURS, and I didn't know a sound like this could make me feel so simultaneously excited and meh. Is this mehxcited? 

I think it is.
