Breaking lamps and breaking through. Brooklyn’s Bedridden isn’t holding back on their latest single Chainsaw a thunderous preview of their debut album, Moths Strapped To Each Other’s Backs. Built on roaring guitars and raw emotion, the track captures the rage of living in close quarters and the suffocating tension of pent-up annoyances. The official music video, filmed in Phoenicia, NY, amplifies this chaos while vocalist Jack Riley smashing lamps in a woodsy, eerie backdrop as a visceral metaphor for breaking free from frustration. Riley explains:
The song is written from my perspective about a time when I made an uncertain decision to move in with a partner and her friend. The video is me trying to break through that anger by destroying the lamps.
This unfiltered honesty combined with mangled riffs and gut-punch lyrics is quickly becoming Bedridden’s trademark. Stereogum has already praised their “amped-up instrumentals paired with really catchy hooks,” while The FADER highlighted Riley’s ability to “exorcise rage amid a blizzard of loud guitars.” The forthcoming album, produced by Momma’s Aron Kobayashi Ritch, is a collection of ten thrashing yet tightly-wound tracks that explore the chaos of adult life with searing honesty. Kicking off their U.S. tour to SXSW in Philadelphia, Bedridden will also be supporting Weatherday in New York City this month.
