Baio shares new track ‘The Names’
Track appears on the Vampire Weekend man’s album of the same name.
Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio is sharing a new track, ‘The Names’, taken from his new solo release.
Baio’s full-length debut arrives on 18th September via Glassnote, also containing the previously-shared ‘Brainwash Yyrr Face’, ‘Sister of Pearl’ and ‘Endless Rhythm’. ‘The Names’ sees him finding life in short-spent bass notes and simple, looping synth lines that gradually pick up a momentum of their own.
