by Baroness, who are currently on the road, are streaming “Morningstar,” the third new song from the band’s eagerly awaited new album, Purple, due out December 18th.
With the release two weeks away, Baroness continues to share behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the 10-song album. The latest clip, titled “Tarbox Aliens” [Making Purple], focuses on the band’s decision to work with producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT). “We could have gone with a more obvious, heavy producer,” explained drummer Sebastian Thomson, “but that just seems kinda, a little bit boring.” John Baizley added, “Being that Baroness considers itself an artistic outlet, then we should try to approach each record as its own individual piece of art. He is a producer with a track record of unique records, and as I’ve said, very adventurous records, and that’s what I’ve come to expect out of this band and that’s what our audience has come to expect.”
Pre-order packages for Purple, which feature instant downloads of “Morningstar,” “Shock Me,” and “Chlorine & Wine” as well as a limited-edition colored vinyl version of the new album, two picture discs, t-shirts, and other unique items are available here. Digital pre-orders, which also include instant downloads of “Morningstar,” “Shock Me,” and “Chlorine & Wine” are available via Amazon.
