Too Bad, single from new EP by Bedroom.  For release this Friday.  Simple, complex; stripped down,  rich –   the new EP from Bedroom (aka Noah Kittinger) is all of the above.  I would start with “Too Bad” to get the feel for his world and then put on your earphones and follow the lyrics while the music shimmers in your head.  Stream on Spotify, Bandcamp.
