In June Bedouine released her self-titled debut album via Spacebomb Records. This led to the selling out of her first ever London show at London’s The Islington on Monday 9 Oct and the adding of an additional date the following day.
In the lead up to these shows as well as her in-store at Rough Trade on Saturday 7 Oct, her part in the Spacebomb Revue at the Barbican Centre on Friday 6 Oct and her subsequent UK tour with Matthew E. White and Michael Kiwanuka, Bedouine has today shared ‘Bedouine: Inside the self-titled debut’.
The short film, made by Tom Salvaggio, features conversations with Matthew E. White and bass player / producer Gus Seyffert about the making of the album as well as studio footage, performance clips and audio of early recording sessions.
Bedouine‘s release saw widespread praise including a 5/5 The Independentalbum review and features everywhere from Uncut and the Sunday Times to The FADER and Stereogum.
Bedouine has a story to match the name. Azniv Korkejian, born in Aleppo, Syria to Armenian parents, spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia, moving to America when her family won a Green Card lottery. Living at various times in Boston, Houston, Lexington, Austin, and Savannah, she eventually found a community of musicians in Los Angeles that feels like home. One day she walked into the studio of bass Gus Seyffert to inquire about portable reel-to-reel tape machines and ended up cutting ‘Solitary Daughter’ in a first take.
Eschewing notions of nomadic chic, Bedouine represents minimalism motivated by travel, paring down and paring down until only the essential remains. Her music establishes a sustained and complete mood, reflecting on the unending reverberations of displacement, unafraid to take pleasure along the way.
