KaiL Baxley grew up in the small backwater town of Williston in Barnwell County, South Carolina, the birthplace and stomping grounds of the late great soul legend James Brown, with whom KaiL shared an unlikely friendship as a child. “Yeah, James used to say, ‘Boy you bein’ good?’ I’d say, ‘Yes sir.’ He’d say, ‘You know you doin’ wrong! Nah, show me your moves lil’ man!’ And we’d have a little dance off. I’m pretty sure he always won, ha, ha. There’s something about the groove of James Brown that has always stayed with me.”
 
 An accomplished athlete in his youth, winning many amateur boxing titles including, Golden Gloves and The Junior Olympic Regional Championships, the idea of playing music only arrived to KaiL after his godfather, a former band director, bought him a guitar for high school graduation. He never put it down. After years of singing for his supper across the South, Europe and parts of Africa, KaiL found himself in California with hopes of composing music for film scores. A chance meeting with engineer/ producer Eric Corne convinced him to write a record of his own. Within a few months, the two were in the late Elliott Smith’s New Monkey Studio with some of LA’s finest musicians. The result is his debut effort, a double EP drawing heavily on both the literary and musical influences of his Irish/Southern roots.

It’s quite a ride all the way through.

Praise for KaiL Baxley:
 
“Baxley’s made a fantastic record that draws on soul and country and acoustic music. The first “side” showcases his more soulful chops; the flip side is a singer-songwriter fan’s wet dream. Seriously. I’m stuck on this one." - Bruce Warren, Some Velvet Blog

"'Legend of the Western Hills,' a swirling ballad filled with strings, vibrato and waltzing percussion, is one of the highlights from the folk disc." - Andrew Leahey, American Songwriter

"Baxley’s music should please anyone who has fallen fleetingly for bands like The Black Keys. His focused approach to folk and blues outstrips those superstars in terms of melodic complexity and emotional impact. Heatstroke finds him laying down a trio of instantly attractive rock singles. The title track, for instance, pairs the clanging repetition of baroque piano with driving delta blues, a thrilling juxtaposition that makes two very old styles seem suddenly brand new. The second EP is filled out with deliberate, acoustic-leaning fair, Baxley’s warming baritone paired with understated picking and rich string swells. Together, the two records constitute an impressive debut, proving Baxley’s stylistic breadth by showcasing two very different aesthetics." - Jordan Lawrence, Shuffle

“This music is best appreciated loud. Baxley imbued his pieces with a stealthy strength, one that hits up front and on the back end as well. Don't miss.” - Aiding & Abetting
 
“'Say Goodbye To The Night' is a perfect soulful snack for a cold winter evening.” - Beats Per Minute

KaiL Baxley - "Boy Got It Bad"

Flow

Calm Canopy & Sylvia Lily - Flow

Twice Removed is a spectral mirror held up to family, memory, and misremembered melody. It's an album of covers that doesn't simply replay—it reinterprets, unsettles, and estranges. Familiar tracks are slowed, detuned, and reimagined through analog tape hiss, distant harmony, and ghost-choir atmospheres. Each song feels like it was recovered from an attic cassette or an abandoned answering machine.

Lyrics:

Have I been here too long? Have I overstayed my welcome?
Have I gone too far? Am I out of sight and mind?
There’s no one here but me now, floating by
Just floating

Have you had enough? I try to be more offering
Will someone fill my cup, with happiness and laughter
So I don’t have to travel, have my troubles chase me around the world
Or maybe I should travel, have my troubles thank me for all the air and exercise

And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor

Well I’m better than I was before
Now I finally got the chance to show you I was broken
But I never put the steel to sore
I’ve been holding on to all that bleeds me from the core
Break me, take my body for somebody who could use it
Break me, take my body for somebody who could use it
Cause I’ll mislead and confuse it
Oh I’ll dismay and abuse it

And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor
And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor

Never alone, never alone with you
Never alone, never alone, untrue

And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor

A Folded Letter

~ Lyrics:

This Boat I'm in, is sinking depp
and I know i've turned from where you lead
Here out on the open seas

and there you are on the beach, 
on solid ground watching me bleed
Here out on the lonely sea

Darling I'm drowning without you (x2)

Oh i love you so, i love you so, oh i know you know, i know you know

Floating on endlessly away from all that i need
here out on the open sea
Darling I'm drowning without you (x2)

Oh i love you so, i love you so, darling i know you know, i know you know 

I love you so, I'm coming home,

Oh i love you so, I love you so, darling I know, I know, I know you know
I love you so, I love you so

Foreign Fields is an electronic folk group that hails from the wintry plains of Wisconsin. New Years day of last year they met in their hometown, in an abandoned office building, to begin work on their first full length LP "Anywhere But Where I Am". Having no set plan or guide, the album grew naturally as they left their lives in Chicago for hot summer days, skipping stones in the rivers of Tennessee.

📝 Lyrics:

I found a spec of dust
Caught between the fingers on my hand closing shut
And I took a part of me
Safe in my pocket and I tossed it to the see

Mockingbird, so absurd
Turn to grey, nothing to say

Do you know me that well
15 minutes in a room gone to hell
Could it be the house we’ve made
Caught up in a time and place I cannot stand

Mockingbird, so absurd
Came to see eventually

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: https://ditto.fm/fame-the-satellite-station

This single is about the dark side of fame - the people you hurt, the concessions you make, the life you give up for that single pursuit. The cynical subject matter brings a heavier, more alternative vibe to this song, compared to The Satellite Station’s usual pop/folk sound.
