Night Beds Get Wavy On “Me Liquor & God”

Last year, singer/songwriter Winston Yellen cut an impressive figure with his debut LP as Night Beds, Country Sleep, a warm and melancholy collection of folk-leaning tunes—which is what makes this new song, "Me Liquor & God," so surprising in existence alone. Gone are the guitar-driven melodies, replaced by wavy, pulsing synths that oscillate just below Yellen's quavering, slightly processed vocal take. This isn't Yellen's first time going electro—he guested on Danish small-techno producer Tomas Barfod's "Sell You" earlier this year—but it's the first time he's done it alone, and it's surprising how effective this approach is for him.
