news:

February 26: David Fricke chooses "All Is Well" as a "Fricke Pick" in Rolling Stone magazine.... "In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing..."

i'm in the uk. i ate a good pastry yesterday at the badger bakery. tour dates on ye old myspace.

"All Is Well" is out. Buy it directly from bedroom community, or from amazon.com, or digitally through other music, or itunes, or emusic. or walk to a CD store and maybe they have it?

"These songs inhabit their own world, closed off from the rest of humanity...Amidon doesn't just update the old world to the new, but finds the roots of the new world in the old."
-Pitchfork (7.8 rating) read the whole review.

here's a little video i made:

All Is Well was recorded and produced by Valgeir Sigur∂sson in Iceland and has brass/string/woodwind arrangements by my friend Nico and contributions from Ben Frost, Aaron Siegel, Eyvind Kang & Stefan Amidon. Oh, cool, I can't wait to hear it!
