The Baron Four—the UK’s premier garage/beat exponents—smash into 2017 with their second long-player, Silvaticus, unleashed onto an unsuspecting public by Get Hip--the only label with balls big enough to take the band on!
With one LP and four single releases already under their belts, the band push forward with their strongest release to date, both in terms of songs and recorded sound. All the recognizable key elements are here: fevered vocals topping off clanging guitars stewed in reverb, rumbling bass and tumultuous drums. Tracked (as usual) at State Records’ custom-built 8-track recording facility in glorious mono, these 12 tracks demonstrate the band’s ability to combine gritty R&B-based material with garage-punk raunch, capturing at least some of their raw, live, chaotic energy onto tape.
