Big Warm Bed

Leeds indie riser Big Warm Bed releases debut EP ‘Shores I’m Swimming In’, out today (September) 26th via Dance To The Radio (Annie-Dog, Ellur, Far Caspian, Low Hummer).

Specialising in laid-back yet wistful musings under his alias, the Yorkshire-based newcomer Jacob Andrews has already revealed three lead singles (‘Should’ve Seen it Coming’, ‘Jackie’ and ‘Can’t Quit’) following his signing to the revered indie label, with impressive backing across BBC 6 Music (Emily Pilbeam) and the press community (Dork, So Young Magazine) greeting his introductionl.

Having toured the globe as part of Far Caspian’s backing band, Big Warm Bed navigates universal themes of friendship and loss through a tasteful retro-rock lens akin to Kevin Morby and Willie J Healey; with the musician set to take his live show on the road this autumn, including a debut headliner at Leeds’ Hyde Park Book Club, and festival slot at Left Of The Dial following his debut EP release.

Detailing his debut EP, Big Warm Bed stated: “‘Shores I’m Swimming In’ is a short body of work that I guess is a timestamp of the last 4 or 5 years of my life. I have gained friends and lost friends in that time, I’ve had ups and downs with the rigmaroles of trying to quit smoking, I lost my mum in that time. Things like that evoke different types of emotions in me, which I try to write about as a way to deal with those feelings. It’s not all doom and gloom though, whilst there are underlying themes of loss and frustration on this EP, I try to sweeten it up with upbeat and triumphant instrumentation to show that every cloud, albeit grey and heavy, does have a silver lining.”

Produced by Harry Jordan at Bam Bam Studios and mixed by Joel Johnston, Big Warm Bed’s ‘Shores I’m Swimming In’ (EP) is out now via Dance To The Radio and available on all digital platforms.
