Album Notes

"I came up with Bunk Beds during summer 2011, one afternoon while I was practicing guitar at a local pub. Slide guitar is usually played in an open tuning, and I was playing in G, which I hadn’t worked in for a while. I was just fooling around and the melody came together in a few minutes. Over the next few weeks I added a middle section, and once the song was together, we recorded it with guitars, piano, percussion and vocals. I wanted to go for as big a sound as possible, but use live musicians rather than canned orchestration. This gave Bunk Beds a “live” and intimate feel, which I think adds to the appeal of the song.” --Carl
