(Toronto, ON) - 23 year-old Abbotsford, BC musician Evan Konrad, aka
Bed of Stars, released his debut EP
'I Fell In Love In The City' through Daniel Victor's (
Neverending White Lights) Last Light Records label (formerly Ocean Records) on June 11th and he's been riding high ever since! The EP's first single
'Nothing Left To Lose' gained plenty of traction at radio this summer and eventually became the #1 most added song at Alternative Radio in Canada (week ending 8/13/13). And with the success of the song at radio, comes the premiere of the video for
'Nothing Left To Lose' featuring Jodelle Furland from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The video was directed by award-winning film maker Cazhhmere (Backstreet Boys, Classified, Three Six Mafia). To celebrate the release of the video,
Bed of Stars will be playing 4 upcoming shows in Ontario this month starting in Windsor at FM Lounge on October 12th.
After spending his formative years absorbed in assembling homemade bedroom recordings, Evan Konrad drew the attention of Juno-nominated producer Daniel Victor, the critically acclaimed entity behind the chart topping collaborative project known as Neverending White Lights. Victor was vastly intrigued by Konrad's vocal abilities, melodic songwriting, and ambitious musical perspective and immediately signed
Bed of Stars to his Ocean Records imprint. This magical partnership soon flourished and resulted in Victor producing
Bed of Stars debut release and even included a Neverending White Lights song featuring
Bed of Stars
- Falling Apart.
Evan Konrad's many sides and shapes are only early signs of what
Bed of Stars will have to offer during what will likely be a very long and fruitful career. As Victor puts it: “He's what the music world has been missing for a long time – true talent and ability that will breed longevity as an artist. This is something we've grown desperate for.”
Konrad started writing the songs for the
Bed of Stars EP
'I Fell In Love In The City' back in 2010 and the initial idea for the record was to make 6 or 7 short stories about love, picturing them as movies. "The Vancouver Olympics were happening at the time," said Konrad. "And there was something magical about the city at that time and I found it really inspiring. The songs come from the idea of falling in love or falling out of love with a friend, a place or a significant other."
Taking the intelligent melodies of Radiohead, effortless breeze of Travis, and a vocal range somewhere between Freddie Mercury and Sigur Ros,
Bed of Stars has devoted himself entirely to the art of sensationalizing the emotive qualities of music. Evan Konrad channels a young Rufus Wainwright on tracks like
'The Spell', telling a story that resonates with symbolism and honesty. On the brilliant and bright
'Nothing Left To Lose' he jumps into Phoenix and Strokes territory, full of energy and excitement. The precision of the rhythmic gem
'Wishbone' calls to mind the epic rock of Muse and matches their soaring lead singer in full throat range, a feat that few are able to accomplish.
'I'll Cross Oceans' and
'Ships In Their Bottles' are touching fairytales of beauty that are both majestical and inspirational. The arrival of
Bed of Stars marks the return of 'true talent' in music - a prodigy that will no doubt breed longevity as an artist.
