Interview: Bedowyn

Recently we became acquainted with Bedowyn, and indie band who'd scored a record deal.

Still looking back at how beautiful their album was. It was a throwback album not made for the iTunes era.

It may surprise some younger readers that there was a time when purchasing a single was basically no longer done, but we bought whole albums just to get a single song!

I still do that, but I'm a throwback like Alexander from Plato's Stepchildren.

Let's get to know them a little bit better I think....

GM: If you had to describe Bedowyn in one sentence what would it be? Then feel free to use many sentences directly after it.

Album Review: "Blood of the Fall" by Bedowyn

Blood of the Fall

There was a time before iTunes, before Pirate Bay, and, yes, before Napster.

In those days, these things called albums were created. That wonderful, amazing, and beautiful era lasted from the early 60's all the way up until about 1999...or perhaps a bit later.

We all know this isn't one of those new music sucks safe spaces on the internet, and we rail against that, but there was something about those days that was better.

Artists made albums.

Before the advent of the CD, as James Leg put it, it's two sides. So it was basically two albums. Two stories. Two giant paintings. Now...so many bands don't make albums, but a collection of songs. Running order, timbre, tone, these things are meaningless because the listeners are just going to listen on shuffle anyway....
