Swami & The Bed of Nails, featuring John Reis, have announced that their debut album, All Of This Awaits You, will be released on August 2, and they have shared the first single and music video, titled “Privacy.”
Reis explained that this new album was created from his final writing sessions with Hot Snakes last year. It eventually grew into the album it is now after the passing of his bandmate and longtime friend, Rick Froberg. He elaborates on this process in a recent press release, stating “When Rick [Froberg] suddenly passed, I was completely heartbroken and shellshocked. The loss continues to be something I have trouble navigating. This record is the songs of that tributary. In November 2023, I decided to finish it and turn it into something. At the time I felt paralyzed and confused so I tried to un-paralyze myself by surrounding myself with friends, making something out of nothing, playing music which felt timely to me, and make plans. The best plan seemed to consist of me jumping back on guitar, doing some yelling and singing, getting in the van and visiting the many villages and selling my wares.”
