BED Everything Hurts

BED is a Berlin based band founded by Argentinian bass player Sol Astolfi and Chilean vocalist Nicolás Astorga in 2021. After initial experimentation and writing sessions, they invited German guitarist Ema Schiller to join. At its core, BED is a queer musical project, with a sound rooted in shoegaze, dream pop and post punk. Their lyrics are sad and sexual, weaving together threads of both vulnerability and desire, producing a body of work that challenges normative creative expression. This is exemplified in the vocalizations, which are intentionally gender ambiguous, representing a fluid identity throughout the album.
The band winds together iconic elements of the 90’s scene, layered with ambient and influenced by the Berlin rave scene. There is a coming-of-age quality to their compositions, a sense of reaching a certain age in life, losing a second virginity across their musical practice, the regaining of innocence and the caring of the wounds of adulthood. There are also narrative aspects that catch the listener, interludes that whisper a secret which gives depth to the storyline of the record.
BED reveals something confidential to us; cherished matters that were treasured inside failed love affairs and broken affections , that needed to come out in the shape of melancholic tracks. “everything hurts” is a delicate and yet rough, noisy and still dramatic output that belongs to a sensitive audience, someone looking for deep-felt tunes and autobiographical confessions, paired with post produced vocals and punchy electronic beats, mixed with melodic shoegaze/dream pop elements. “everything hurts” LP/digital releases May 23rd, 2025 on Bretford records.
