Weird, wonderful and hypnotic. There are so many things resonating in there - a bit of Roxy Music, some Echo and the Bunnymen, all sorts of late seventies punk and new wave.definitely an existential howl of anguish

oldrottenhead the bunkbeds from clydebank scotland bedroom band influenced by the flaming lips and pixies
the bunkbeds are jim higgins and the occasional guest players. home made indy rock lofi musings that doesn't take itself to seriously best describes the music and the band. everything recorded at home all on cheap n nasty equipment. the ultimate bedroom band. of late i have found myself collaborating with musicians the world over, predominantly with lyrics and vocals so if you have a tune banging around that you cant come up with lyrics for send it my way and i'll see if i can help.

Story behind the song
this song is first solo thing ive done in ages, seem to be collaborating all over the place mainly vocals and lyrics, but this morning i got the guitar out, and no muse around i thought what can i do with just 1 chord. so began my experiment in minimalism, but wait i messed with effects kept recording me playing the same thing and just layering and layering, not like a nice cake but more like a stodgy lasagne, had a rock drumloop happening but then changed its kit to a hip hop one, then after watching bbcs story of the guitar and seeing a spanish flamenco guitarist, i started clapping, via onboard mic but with ef pan effect to have it bounce round the stereo mix, then came a nonsensical lyric vocal, song is called hurry murray, and no i dont know what its about all explanations/interpretations of it will be helpful so here it is
Lyrics
hurry murray there's a man on fire put his finger on electric wire baby baby can you please come hear wanna whisper nothing in your ear what's the point in common sense the quantum heaves a sigh probability or luck the theory gets too high man you're talking way above my head every syllable i ever read they have the contents on the packets now e140's gone organic wow what's the point in common sense the quantum heaves a sigh probability or luck the theory gets too high i wonder where we're gonna go when it's our turn to die will anybody spot we've gone will anybody cry hurry murray there's a man on fire hurry murray there's a man on fire donkey kong or super mario betamax with 3d stereo catch me catch me fore i have a fall keep your eye on every single ball what's the point in common sense the quantum heaves a sigh probability or luck the theory gets too high i wonder where we're gonna go when it's our turn to die will anybody spot we've gone will anybody cry words and music james higgins
