Formed near the end of 2013, bedchamber is a Jakartabased unit offering sounds mostly unheard of in Indonesia’s current independent music scene. As a generation largely influenced, shaped, even nurtured by the internet, Ratta (vocals/guitars), Abi (guitars), Smita (bass), and Ariel (drums) met through mutual concerns of being young today. Draining as it is, it sparked in them the certainty and spirit to huddle through the phase together—as a band. Their doubts and worries then manifest themselves as an introductory number quite matter-of-factly titled “Youth”.

“Youth” speaks of man’s lack of preparedness upon being met by a new decade of his life. This premise is further intensified by bedchamber’s music, evoking feelings of happiness, yet not without a tinge of somber melancholy set off by the realization that the happiness is fleeting.

“This song puts us in a limbo,” Smita remarks, “between ages and different feelings while facing the close of teenagehood.”

This single is one out of five tracks adding up to bedchamber’s debut EP titled Perennial, to be released under Kolibri Rekords in both CD and digital format at the end of September 2014. The tracks were recorded in July through August of the same year, “Youth” being the second track of the EP.

“Youth” was officially released on September 5 through deathrockstar(dot)club exclusively, and can be played and downloaded freely on bedchamber’s Soundcloud page. Further information is soon to be announced.
