In a world where the radio airwaves are dominated by a new breed of electronic programming-meets-guitar heavy rock, Juliana Hatfield has chosen to lie in a different bed, so to speak.

For her new record, entitled "Bed," the former Blake Babies and Lemonheads singer-guitarist opted for as few modern recording tricks as possible, and bypassed the usage of any samples, loops or other digital processing effects in favor of a more raw and pure sound.

"I think I was really inspired by an album by a band called Verbena," Hatfield told the MTV Radio Network about the source of "Bed's" sound. "[They're] from Alabama. I was just completely blown away by this album, it was all I listened to last year. The sound of it was... just really dry and raw, it sounded like it was recorded on 8-tracks or something."
