Fire Cleans Everything E.P. (recorded in 08/2020)

Too Klaus For Comfort

"Powerful yet just understated enough to become a cult classic."” - Sean Melody

SoundsandShadows

Coupled with the album’s synth- and guitar-driven sound and Paul Baker’s vocals, which fall somewhere between Peter Murphy and Ian Curtis, the title evokes a certain Joy Division-for-smart-asses tone present throughout the record. Baker, the sole member of the Denver goth/death-rock/protest/post-punk project Redwing Blackbird, says he is making a point about the state of the world and tying it to Dick’s dystopia.” - John Bear

-Denver Westward

So I’m not sure what is happening in Colorado but everything I hear from that state is blowing me away. Paul Baker has put together this self aware album full of camp, and spiraling darkness. Almost a batcave goth meets 90’s britpop.” - Ken Magerman

Midnight 5/07/2021 marks the release of HUMANZ & The Silver Vessel on Label recordings! 

Midnight marks the the release of the first two tracks, from my sophomore full length "HUMAN Z & The Silver Vessel" 

The first two tracks appear here & exclusively on Michigan's "Label Recordings" 

tonight @ midnight Mt time. 5/7/2021 

THIS IS A CONCEPT RECORD EVOLVING IN REALTIME. 

Meaning, I am writing recording brand new material as it comes to me. 

I will be releasing 2 tracks monthly between now & Halloween. 

These first 2 I wrote & tracked 1 week ago, finished mix last night & released to 

Label president Joshua McAlilster for art, mastering & release. 

Some vocal takes were recorded in a tunnel @ 3 am beneath the Colorado 36 freeway (between Denver & Boulder) using a field recording setup for its natural reverb qualities. 

I implore all to Invite your friends, family & lovers to these results! think of it sorta as an Evel Knievel approach to electropunk/deathrock, as I continue to track various instrumentation in bizarre yet beautiful sounding locations around Colorado & beyond. More importantly 

Thank you for you current & past support, 

Love to you all 

Paul B & Bob Barker
