I have made no secret of my admiration for Gus Baldwin; he’s one of my favorite current musicians in the Austin scene, whether that’s playing solo or working on various projects about town. Today, we’ve got a brand new track from his forthcoming solo record, and this one definitely feels like the spirit of Jay Reatard spinning through your speakers; it carries that garage punk fuel, particularly in the way that the vocals come across in the verses…sort of scratchy as they claw at melody. And that’s why I love Baldwin’s work, as this tune clearly illustrates a love for hooks galore, and you’ll get plenty of that whether from the chorus or other little pop blips that pop up in this recording. The self-titled LP will drop this October.
