Night Beds Announces Details Of Debut Album And Unveils Video For 'Even If We Try'

Nashville’s Night Beds has announced details of his debut album ‘Country Sleep’, set for release on February 4th 2013 on Dead Oceans. Ahead of the ‘Country Sleep’ album release, Night Beds will release his debut single ‘Even If We Try’ on 26th November. Watch the new video for ‘Even If We Try', directed by Rick Alverson ('The Comedy’), below.
Night Beds is the creation of 23-year-old Colorado Springs native Winston Yellen. In 2011, Yellen moved to a pre-civil war home on the outskirts of Nashville, previously owned by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Over the course of 10 months, he wrote and recorded 'Country Sleep' in the rented Hendersonville home and at Nashville's Brown Owl studio. The result is a collection of modern country soul in the tradition of great American songwriters.
Yellen stars in the ‘Even If We Try' music video, which is a story told in reverse, playing a loner character that's trying to fit in at a seedy Nashville party. "Given how gentle and beautiful the song is, I wanted to make something adamantly in contrast to that," says Alverson. "I wanted the video to be dark and devastating, out-of-bounds and animalistic," says Winston.
In addition to the official video, there is also a live version of ‘Even If We Try’ available to watch online here.
'Country Sleep' tracklisting is as follows:
1. Faithful Heights
2. Ramona
3. Even If We Try
4. 22
5. Borrowed Time
6. Cherry Blossoms
7. Wanted You in August
8. Lost Springs
9. Was I For You?
10. TENN
