Transaction de Novo

by Bedhead

supported by

heylisten Less overpowering than WFLW and less subdued than BHDD, TN sits comfortably in between as a measured sendoff to a band that was uncompromising in its process.

Bedhead isn't here to emancipate.
On the contrary, they often evoke a vague uneasiness that lingers progressively from track to track and it feels as though these songs were recorded on a first take basis, also eliciting self-reflection with contemplative lyrics.

Though vastly slicker, here they still sound raw in a very compelling way. Favorite track: The Present.

about

Original 1998 album remastered and pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl.

“I met them in full flower, in the depths of their mania, pursuing contemplative music with the kind of intensity normally found in psychopaths. No detail was too small to sweat, no crack in the veneer not worth gluing and clamping. We built a common language, equal parts philosophy, rock music, and disdain for the dullness around us.”—Steve Albini, on recording Transaction De Novo

“The most lush, gorgeous guitar music of this, or any other decade.” —Pitchfork

Bedhead Dallas, Texas

As a quintet originally started by brothers Matt and Bubba Kadane, the Texan band shed a dreamy, albeit gloomy, light on slowcore.
