notes

Today, when most of the so-called musical innovators simply offer contemporary takes on already proven and accepted movements in music (neo-psychedelia, nth-wave garage bands...) Portsmouth, New Hampshire's Nat Baldwin is a true original. Baldwin is an upright bass player and a singer, but he takes both of those things to their limit, and has perfected a sound that he can call entirely his own.

His bass playing can be soothing or jarring- he bows and plucks, taps and scratches... he finds endless different sounds in his instrument, and it never seems lacking or overplayed. His voice is a beautiful instrument all it's own. A big, open, oceanic voice- sultry and sublime. The simple combination of Baldwin's bass and singing is pure, direct, and timeless.

"Although this is technically an EP, it feels complete. Baldwin's debut mini-album feels like one desparate night alone."-Pitchforkmedia.com

CDEP includes the track "Only in my dreams" -featured in the Orange UK advertisement

    I fell in love with "only in my dreams" from the O2 advert and knew I had to get the CD. Definitely one of the more bizarre CDs in my collection but as such it is beautifully refreshing

  • Superb!!!
