A lesson of loss is central to “Death of Dog”, a piano-driven remembrance of songwriter Oliver Kalb’s late dog, Lou. But the song is no dirge—its bright melody and Len-inspired second verse evoke an autumnal luminescence, treading a line between deep sorrow and upbeat pop propulsion. This juxtaposition of sorrow and bright determination is central to the song’s lyrics: how can we doggedly continue in our lives knowing the things we love can be taken away from us? Written after a series of difficult losses, the song finds Kalb with a renewed appreciation for life in the face of hardship, freshly emboldened to move through the world with a loosened grip on life: “I’m not its master, I give up the fight, I want no claim,” Kalb declares. Another Michael’s Alenni Davis offers commanding duet vocals, adding dimension to “Death of Dog” with fierce harmonies that counter Kalb’s gossamer voice.

Familiar Faces

As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

This track was recorded mainly around the spring of 2020, in my home studio.
That's also the first composition where my self crafted technique : surfing with feedback, was born. 

Mixed using 2 old vintage boomboxes.

Man Man - Dig Deep

A creative departure from the bands signature sound, Only Feel It When I’m With You builds upon the new textures and sounds recently delivered with the surprise drop of Midnight and Under The Surface.

With a slower tempo and mesmerizing melody, the single features the hypnotic vocals of The Jezabels singer Hayley Mary who adds her uniquely melancholic voice to one of the most daringly beautiful tracks Baby Strange have released to date.

Speaking on the collaboration, Hayley says: “I met the Baby Strange lads at the Priory in Glasgow. Loved their vibe and and we hit it off straight away. There’s a great little rock scene bubbling in that city that I’ve missed while I’ve not been able to get there, so I’m incredibly stoked to be part of this track and stay connected with them in a musical way. It’s a killer and I look forward to coming and playing it live with them sometime in the near future. 

Adding to this, Johnny Madden says:  “This is one of the most exciting singles we’ve ever released as a band. Writing it took us completely out of our comfort zone and pushed us into a new territory as writers and players. 
We’ve never had a featured vocalist on a track before, but knew right away that it had to be Hayley. The song just lends itself perfectly to her vocal style.
We’ve known Hayley for a long time so being able to work together on this was so exciting”

The artwork and visuals connected to the single follow on the series of recent releases, exploring an alternative world that offers an insight into the bitter promises of late stage capitalism. Brought to life by Glasgow based Visual Animator ‘Bovine’ the artwork itself has become a talking point for fans and media who eagerly await the next instalment.

The wait is over.

Baby Strange feat. Hayley Mary - Only Feel It When I'm With You

The Dial

Oceans away, unlike no other
I seem to stray, past the white water
There's only more, left to uncover
And I'll make it mine, and pack it with wonder

Don't wake up, sounds made up
Or is it even though
Stare right into the sun oh how is it so

I see stars
They seem to fall in place on their own
Scatter away til they find a home

Memories astray, they fade away
Be what it may, I choose the same
The hours seem to pass
Right up when you're leaving
And I'll make it last
For more than the evening

Don't wake up, sounds made up
Or is it even though
Stare right into the sun oh how is it so

I see stars
They seem to fall in place on their own
Scatter away til they find a home

SCATTER

TIME GOES
