Our Take

BAIO's latest offering, "The Names," is a sonic journey through the mind of a musician who is not afraid to push boundaries and experiment with different sounds. Drawing influences from 80s synth-pop and indie rock, BAIO creates a unique blend of catchy melodies and introspective lyrics that will have you dancing and contemplating life's big questions at the same time.

The album kicks off with the infectious track "Brainwash yyrr Face," a bouncy, synth-driven anthem that sets the tone for what's to come. BAIO's quirky vocals float effortlessly over shimmering beats and pulsating basslines, creating a sound that is undeniably his own.

Tracks like "Endless Rhythm" and "Needs" showcase BAIO's ability to craft intricate, layered compositions that are both danceable and thought-provoking. The production on "The Names" is slick and polished, with each song feeling like a carefully constructed work of art.

While some may find BAIO's eclectic sound a bit too off-the-wall, fans of artists like Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem will no doubt appreciate his bold approach to music-making. "The Names" is a testament to BAIO's talent as a musician and a reminder that sometimes the best music is the one that takes risks and defies expectations. So go ahead, give it a listen – you might just find your new favorite album.
