The song took shape over a period of months of being played live with some subtle changes being made to the arrangement over time. We hadn&#8217;t really done any demoing for the recording session so we kept exploring new ideas from the rehearsal room to the studio. Leaning into slowcore and shoegaze, the song is a development of sounds we became interested in while working previously with Daniel Fox from Girl Band.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>Listen to\u00a0<em>For Today<\/em> via SoundCloud\u00a0below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"For Today by Bedrooms\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F997708369&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hear <em>For Today<\/em> via DSPs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail19.com\/t\/j-l-auyurud-ejlihlkhu-i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018The Afterglow\u2019 EP details<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i2.cmail19.com\/ei\/j\/AB\/B47\/2CF\/205852\/csfinal\/AfterglowEPartworklo-9900000000079e3c.jpg\" alt=\"Bedrooms - The Afterglow EP artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018The Afterglow\u2019 EP track listing<\/strong><br><br>1.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail19.com\/t\/j-l-auyurud-ejlihlkhu-h\/\">For Today<\/a><br>2.

We&#8217;re huge admirers of his music and we felt that he could get the most out of these tracks and the sounds we had in our head. We essentially just chanced our arm by emailing his manager and everything kinda moved quickly from there. The few days we spent in West Kirby with Bill were pretty special to us and our favourite time as a band.<br><br>Through the &#8216;Afterglow&#8217; EP we wanted to put together a collection of songs we believed reflected our progression as musicians and songwriters from our earlier releases.\u00a0We had aimed to release the EP in the late summer of 2020 but given the uncertainty of everything going on this past year, we kept pushing back and were perhaps waiting for some sort of perfect storm where we could gig again and have a launch night to showcase the tracks. It seemed like that was never going to happen, but ultimately, we needed to remind ourselves that we created something that we&#8217;re all proud of and didn&#8217;t want to sit on the songs for any longer.&#8221;<\/em><br><br><strong>Bedrooms are:<\/strong><br>Dev McGarry (guitar and lead vocal)<br>Fionn Montague (lead guitar and backing\u00a0vocal)<br>Dane Staunton (bass and backing vocal)<br>Ste O&#8217;Leary (drums)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Dublin quartet Bedrooms have shared the new single For Today, the first song to be lifted from their forthcoming debut EP \u2018The Afterglow\u2019.
