about

Brood I is an album of free folk and krautrock improvisations, by a band that used to play punk. It is the first in a series about the history of bread.

"We were always in different conditions as a band since we started in 2011. Songs changed time and again. We wanted to catch these moments of musical connection in recordings, but we always captured something different than what we were looking for.

Hun Bed was formed in Groningen, the Netherlands. When I moved to Rotterdam Hun Bed became a project on distance. Since 2017 we come together yearly, recording improvisations. Being freed from playing live, our music became very different. Softer, more intimate and more exploratory. We’ve changed from being a band, into an investigation of what it means to be a band. We have become friends with a common interest: bread.

Brood I is the first album in a series that explores the history of bread. In the lyrics I arranged memories and historical descriptions of ingredients, tools, laws and the availability of bread. We recorded it in the Harz, Germany, during a rainy weekend in the fall of 2017. Gijs Deddens plays guitar and effects, Oscar Borsen plays drums and I sing and play keys. Fien de Graaf sings guest vocals on gewag. I edited and produced the recordings into an album, Michiel Klein helped editing the album towards the final stage.

It was six years ago that we put out our last recording. Now the moment has finally come to release Brood I, after a period of dreams, of frustration, of disappointment, of finding new ways, of friendship on distance."
