BARONESS Streaming “Morningstar” Track; New Behind-The-Scenes Video Streaming

Baroness are streaming “Morningstar”, the third new song previewing music from the band’s new album, Purple, out December 18th via Abraxan Hymns.

With the release two weeks away, Baroness continues to share behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the ten-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 an instant download of “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 now at this location. Digital pre-orders, which also include an instant download of “Chlorine & Wine,” are available via iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.

Baroness launched their first US tour in support of the ten-song album with a round of intimate performances on November 27th at the Ace Of Cups in Columbus, Ohio.

“We’ve been off tour for too long,” said John Baizley. “It’s time for Baroness to start playing shows in the US again. We’re doing a short run through the eastern half of the States, in small clubs, getting our new songs stage ready for 2016. Who knows, maybe we’ll even throw in a few songs from the very early EPs and albums. See you soon.”
