Formed as a warehouse duo in 2003 by old friends Eliza Jones and Brandon Beaver, “Buried Beds” grew over several years into a chamber group of banjos, string quartets, electric guitars, broken glass, and aching harmonies. Their Americana influenced melancholy won them “Best Band” in Philadelphia Magazine's "Best of Philly 2004" issue and a spot on the Believer Magazine’s yearly music compilation. They went on to record the lush and beautiful “Empty Rooms” in 2005.
Deeply embedded in the Philadelphia music scene, Beaver was a founding member and guitarist of the avant-prog rock outfit “Make a Rising” and is a tenor in the indie-rock glee club “Silver Ages” while Jones has sung on at least a dozen recent albums including the latest releases from “Man Man”, “Dr. Dog” and “Me Without You” and has appeared in cabarets with the renowned Pig Iron Theatre Company.
On their sophomore album "Tremble the sails", Buried Beds paints a cinematic landscape that is both dark and beautiful. Recorded in part at Dr. Dog’s studio and mixed by Nick Krill of The Spinto Band, the album is more alive than the first; maintaining a focus on careful arrangements but summoning the chaos and energy of Rock and Roll. With influences spanning Bach to ELO, Buried Beds sounds like Jon Brion recording Arcade Fire covering a Randy Newman album.
