Martin Callingham ‘Bedding In’


From his forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Patterns’, Martin Callingham has released his new single, ‘Bedding In’. Martin Callingham is a writer and musician from Bristol, UK. He has been melting audiences into a puddle with his intimate delivery and beautifully crafted songs since 2016’s ‘Tonight We All Swim Free’. The album found acclaim from the press and radio including BBC 6 Music, Clash Magazine, Louder Than War and Folk Radio.

‘Bedding In’ is a haunting single wrapped in twinkling guitar and mystical melodies. Callingham croons over the sweet, weaved guitar melodies, creating enchanting soundscapes filled with mystery and glittering textures. This delicate, alluring tune is arranged with minimal instrumentation yet unfolds beautifully to reveal a refined and mesmerising tune for listeners to enjoy.

Recorded mostly live at J&J Studios in Bristol by Jim Barr (Portishead, Get the Blessing), ‘Bedding In’ is accompanied by a striking claymation video. About its creation, Callingham says, “The video for ‘Bedding In’ was made by Sam Wisternoff who has worked with the likes of This is The Kit, Rachael Dadd and Get the Blessing. When we got together to discuss the video, I had been drinking all afternoon and inadvertently agreed to Sam having a free rein on the project. The end result – Sam’s first attempt at claymation – is pretty weird, but I rather like it.”
