Lafayette, La.-based quartet Brass Bed might have fans going stir-crazy until a follow-up to 2010’s “Melt White” is released, and with good reason. Their forthcoming album “The Secret Will Keep You” won’t be out until 2013.  And their new 7-inch single “A Bullet For You” only stokes the fires of anticipation. Due out Sept. 18 on Crossbill Records, the single starts as a slow-burning ode, with reverb echoing into all the empty spaces that are lovingly glazed with front man Christiaan Mader’s serene vocals. But this is no ordinary, sentimental ballad; a tint of blues are amplified until rhythmic pandemonium roars by way of a magnificent guitar solo – causing one to forget the start of the song was gentle at all. And that’s the beauty of Brass Bed. Equally moving B-side tunes “Every Time You Make Me” and  “Please Don’t Go” make this 7-inch a compelling release in itself. One is only left to expect wild things from the next record.
