Blah Blah Blah Science compares Bedouin to Cat Power, Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval & Dusty Springfield

The precise focused pensiveness of Cat Power, the windswept far-away aesthetic of Hope Sandoval and the warm at-ease tone of Dusty Springfield are a few introductory aesthetic touchstones for newcomer L.A. artist Bedouin. But rather than a sum of a resume of influences or a one sheet of hyperbolic praise and notions, the worldly well-traveled Bedouin (she grew up admist an amalgamation of different cultures and environments) sings and composes from a broader and, as is evidenced in her music, immensely affecting place that is completely her own. We’re privileged to premiere the stunning “Up All Night” from Bedouin’s forthcoming s/t EP.  LISTEN HERE…

There’s so much that’s just said in the name of this band, and the name of this song, before you even get to the video: the fierce and shaky camera work, the half punk, half bluegrass sound, the lyrics that are driving towards something new and perfect and familiar. It’s driving and mesmerizing and holy Lord, I want that orange pick up truck. This is my anthem for this year, loud and full of battering banjos and snare drums and fuck you lyrics. The escape of this video is what I want in my life. VIEW HERE

District Attorneys frontman Drew Beskin provided the songs, which included more personal compositions he’d penned. READ MORE

The best folk artists know how to tap into this power at a moment’s notice, and such is the case with the up and comers we’re going to introduce this afternoon.  READ MORE & LISTEN
