Josaleigh Pollett – “Bed Of Quiet”

Josaleigh Pollett's upcoming album If I Let It Quiet is shaping up to be a real treat. With the singles we've heard so far, the Salt Lake City singer-songwriter's intimate yet infectious brand of indie evokes Indigo De Souza or Samia. Today, we get another taste with "Bed Of Quiet," which is a dreamy whirlwind of a song.

"'Bed Of Quiet' is an over-thinker's anthem," Pollett explains, continuing:

A song for the sleepless, and the hours spent playing and replaying scenarios on a loop in your brain where there is no right decision, digging for a yes or a no in a mountain of perhaps. We wanted the production to feel like it belonged in the middle of the night, when you're not quite yet dreaming, but suspended above your body like a projected film of the last few week's events you can't stop watching, playing too loud for sleeping. When Chris Walla sent us some instrumental recordings from the early 2010's he'd yet to use, they fit perfectly into the fitful, crumpled sheets of the bed we were making. The post-chorus vocal "a little doubt-" is also the only time Jordan [Watko] sings on the record, pitch-shifted all to heaven, of course.

Listen below.

If I Let It Quiet is out 7/24 on Audio Antihero/Lavender Vinyl.
