Baroness’ double-album Yellow and Green is a lyrically introspective and musically expansive work that’s arguably less metal and more rock. During a recent spring tour, NPR’s Lars Gotrich sat down with members John Baizley and Pete Adams to talk about Baroness’ ever-evolving style, which Baizley calls the “heartbeat of this band.”
I think MetalSucks put it best.
It’s not hard to understand why Baroness are so eager to share this song with the world: while it’s actually kind of melancholic, too — it’s one of those songs that seems to ache, if that makes sense — it’s also so damned catchy that it HURTS.
I’m the happiest and most adjusted I’ve ever felt in a decade, but sometimes you just need to feel a beautiful melancholy. I cannot wait for this album, guys.
John Dyer Baizley is the man.
