Separate Bed: Multi-instrumentalist with dream pop.

When married or other couples have problems, separate beds can be a possible solution. The band Separate Bed have no problem at all the only delivers dream pop with some similarity to Yo La Tengo.

Bosse Litsheim is a permanent member of the critically acclaimed band Ai Phoenix. As a multi- instrumentalist he has also become a sought-after musical collaborator. For a number of years he has toured and worked in studios with artists such as St. Thomas and Hotel Hotel.

 Together with producer Robert Jønnum, Bosse was central in developing what would eventually characterize the soundscape of St.Thomas. Bosses slow banjo riff-picking has become a signature on songs such as Cornerman, Take A Dance With Me, Into The Forest, and helped make the album I’m Coming Home an immortal classic. He was also central to, and made a huge impact on, St. Thomas later album Hey Harmony, recorded in Nashville together with several members of Lambchop and Neutral Milk Hotel.

Separate Bed is Bosse’s first solo project, where he has worked on songs in collaboration with Tarjei Thomassen and Robert Jønnum (Kings Of Convenience, St. Thomas). The self-titled album will be released on Apollon Records October 14 2022, presenting several collabs, including three tracks featuring electro-acoustica artist Mari Kvien Brunvoll (Hubro/Jazzland). On The Standalone she adds an other tonal dimension to this grown and dreamy indie rocker, bluntly labeled Snare-Gaze by producer Robert Jønnum. Kid Phoenix shows another side of Separate Bed, showcasing their roots in slowcore, krautrock and post-rock.

On Citizen Of Rumination Separate Bed are joining forces with Frode Fivel, a legend in the Scandinavian underground scene, known from Hello Goodbye and collaborations with Euroboy Knut Schreiner. Droney and shoegazy dream pop. The track also serves as a first taste of a collaborative album coming next year. On Want To Be Castaway there is more than a hint of Ai Phoenix, with Mona Mørk joining on vocals.
