Food Near Me, Weather Tomorrow

Food Near Me, Weather Tomorrow are the two most Googled phrases. It is also the title of the second album written by babybaby_explores, fka Baby; Baby: Explores the Reasons Why that Gum is Still on the Sidewalk…initially a pseudo research concept project. This is their first album to be officially released (No Gold, 2023). The band is composed of Lids B-day: effected vox & sampler, sam m-h: electric guitar, and Gabe C-D: drum machines. These three fweaky decade long high school best friends come from a clam chowder airport suburbia located just outside of Providence, RI. The album was recorded by Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets over the span of two days. It features 10 tracks created in the same way every babybaby_explores song is made: via writing sessions that are spontaneous and improvisational. If something makes them laugh or feels right, it is recorded and then perfected through repetition. The three act intuitively and playfully towards one another. They meet in the middle, each declaring their own tune, responding to one other, sparring playfully. Songs erupt with little control. They are happenings that the band gets stuck on. The project exists to recreate and recapture a moment that held something enjoyable for each member, and to accurately re-render and share the joyous joke with others. 

The Rhode Island trio’s weirdo avant-pop tunes land somewhere between the subversive, no-wave skronk of Bush Tetras and the lo-fi minimalism of Sneaks.
