I Saw You Coming Back to Me - 7678

Review Bedroom Walls bring soft singing, brooding instrumentals and sweet sadness with their treasurey debut, seamlessly stitching together heartbreak and playfulness. -- Benjamin Friedland, ROLLING STONE, November 3, 2003 Music has to be liked a bit too much. Bedroom Walls make that easy, playing songs with awkward perfection. -- Russel Swensen, L.A. WEEKLY, April 4, 2003 Quiet and dreamy like a drugged-up waltz with gorgeous chords, it lulls you in. A beautiful experiment in progress. -- Adriane Lee, SOMA, Vol. 17 Issue 9 Product Description Recorded by noted producer Rafter Roberts (Black Heart Procession, Tristeza, Pinback, The Album Leaf) at Singing Serpent in San Diego, I SAW YOU COMING BACK TO ME is occasionally instrumental, often lyrically sparse and forever biting in its depiction of boredom and heartbreak. Mixing moody "baroque-minimalism" with offbeat humor, I SAW YOU COMING BACK TO ME is a potent elixir for the indie rock set. Lilting, downcast melodies are sometimes juxtaposed with mirthful song titles ("Landlord! Watch! Coffin! Angels!"). Other times, the dangers of comfort are outlined in sleepy, somber strokes ("The Dogs Life"). Think of Bedroom Walls as a bipolar concoction of laughing gas and valium, a dreamy state of consciousness and sleep. About the Artist For the past two years, Los Angeles-based band BEDROOM WALLS have been lulling fans with a lush, voluptuous sound they call Romanticore*. With a narcotic grace and a bone-dry sense of humor, the band's songs aim to instruct listeners in the proper use of melancholy. Or, as Bedroom Walls told the L.A. TIMES, "We just want to make people sad." *What is Romanticore? Romanticore is a term coined by Bedroom Walls to describe the kind of music they make. Some elements include: staring blankly at the ceiling; sedatives; the Santa Ana winds; guilty flashbacks; stale cake for breakfast (and lunch); dancing alone in your bedroom to "Love Plus One"; minimalist posturing undercut by epic gestures; existentialism (ages 17-22); losing touch with your family; dandyism (ages 27-33); first kisses; the last paragraph of THE GREAT GATSBY; succumbing to bad habits; losing friends; last kisses; sighing too loudly and too often; knowing your ex-girlfriend is happier now; drinking peppermint schnapps because it's all that's left in the house; sleeping far too much; finding old love letters in a book you borrowed from your new boyfriend; the "oh no, love – you're not alone!" part of "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide"; trying to cry/trying not to cry; driving in circles; etcetera ad infinitum...
