Late Bloomer 04:57
Hold me to the things I said Spend hours with my regrets Hide out with the most of it Sleep tight darling I hope you did Oh won’t you wait? I did I’m a late bloomer too I’m a late bloomer too Summer heat it’s all pushing back Fire hydrants and heart attacks Whispered nothings all coming back Sleepless summer I’m coming back Happy birthday it happens once a year I know I think I should try to let it go Happy birthday it’s once a year I know Making progress but I still have to let you go Happy birthday

Hydrangeas 02:44
At a stop save the tick of the clock The emotional schlock and all our damn belongings Well imagine that like tracing highways on the map Moving pictures from the wall to the closet I wanna scream, wouldn’t you? Try my best to get out from under you Well here’s a trick if you wanna get bit If your sick of this shit Stick your hand in the fuckers mouth I had a dream Where I wake up all out of place And I stumble out to hydrangeas Blooming all over the place What a nice surprise so I smell the flowers Then the pollen as dense as a haze All around and I’m suffocating Now I’m running at a deafening pace When to my surprise hydrangeas Falling all over the place All around hydrangeas dying

about

The debut 7" from Nico Hedley, brought to you by Whatever's Clever

"These two songs were written and recorded in my bedroom while learning to use an 8 track reel to reel machine. They are experiments in stream of consciousness songwriting, controlled chaos, and seeing how broken a guitar can sound" -NH

The music Nico Hedley makes is late-at-night music, slow dancing in your socks on the hardwood in your bedroom kinda music, too wired to sleep so you read by the light of the lamp on the nightstand music, overhead lights coming on at the bar music, AM country radio swinging stoplight no one else awake in town kinda music. A tall crooner in bifocals with an ancient hollowbody who could be from anywhere and from anytime but is also somehow definitely from New York City (his sole tattoo - "212" on his upper thigh). His band can have a pedal steel in it, his band can have a saxophone in it, his band can have an upright bass in it, and it always, to me, sounds like just the group of folks you want to sing "Auld Lang Syne" to you when the balloons drop.

Nico's played around in a lot of different bands and situations, he's lived a lot of lives, and after a few summers under the soil his songs are finally here.
