CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Recorded by noted producer Rafter Roberts (Black Heart Procession, Tristeza, Pinback, The Album Leaf) at Singing Serpent in San Diego, I SAW YOU COMING BACK TO ME is occasionally instrumental, often lyrically sparse and forever biting in its depiction of boredom and heartbreak. Mixing moody "baroque-minimalism" with offbeat humor, I SAW YOU COMING BACK TO ME is a potent elixir for the indie rock set. Lilting, downcast melodies are sometimes juxtaposed with mirthful song titles ("Landlord! Watch! Coffin! Angels!"). Other times, the dangers of comfort are outlined in sleepy, somber strokes ("The Dogs Life"). Think of Bedroom Walls as a bipolar concoction of laughing gas and valium, a dreamy state of consciousness and sleep. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsDoes Bedroom Walls make you smile? E. A Solinas | MD USA | 06/20/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "When an album has a song called "Landlord! Watch! Coffin! Angels!", that's enough to get your attention. And it's the sort of whimsically thoughtful stuff that you find on "I Saw You Coming Back To Me," L.A. band Bedroom Walls' debut. It's lush, soft and lulls you into a pleasant stupor.A gentle riff and murmured vocals open "Do The Buildings And Cops Make You Smile?", a singsongy little pop tune. Then it's to distorted speaking and quiet, repetitive little melodies in "Winter That's All," the more cheerful horn-laden "More 'Real Cats," and the meanderingly sweet "Making Atoms Jump Like Trick Dogs."The real gift of Bedroom Walls is to make meandering melodies sound so darn good. This heavily-sedated form of baroque pop -- which Bedroom Walls dubs "romanticore" -- rarely reaches a climax or breaks out of its basic melodic mold. But rather than seeming draggy and repetitive, it seems more like being rocked to sleep.The music of Bedrooms Walls seems a lot simpler on the first listen. Songs like "The Dog's Life," "He To Whom Mercy Has Been Granted" and "There's Nothing To See in the Morning Light" sound very alike on first listen. But after the second or third, you start to notice the whimsical notes of "Nothing," the sonic undulations of "Mercy," and dozens of other little details. The vocals of Adam Goldman and former member Melissa Thorne are merely okay -- they sound like they're singing in their sleep, but it does match the music. The complex instrumentation is the best part, however -- little snatches of acoustic guitar and bright horns ground the airy flute, electric piano and keyboards.The titles are stranger than anything the Flaming Lips have dreamed up, and the instrumentation and vocals sound like the people are half-asleep. Bedroom Walls makes a unique, gentle little album in "I Saw You Coming Back To Me," the ultimate adult lullaby."
