About Baio:
Since 2006, Baio has been known as the bass-player in Vampire Weekend, the New York-based rock band who last year won a Grammy for their third album, Modern Vampires of the City. In his downtime between tours, however, Baio recognized in himself an increasing restlessness, a desire to explore his own individual voice away from the band. Baio has released a string of EPs (Mira EP, Sunburn EP) having amassed critical praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Pretty Much Amazing, Spin, Paste and more! Across its nine tracks, Baio wanted to return, in part, to the electronic music he’d enjoyed while DJing at college, but also to investigate his own lyrical and vocal style to create something quite new and not easily categorized.
