A self-taught multi-instrumentalist with synaesthesia guiding his ear, Paris-born polymath Max Baby stitches hazy guitars, panting, chugging rhythms, and peculiar textures into something both shadowy and luminous, defiantly singular.
His debut EP âOut Of Control, Into The Wallâ landed last year, establishing him as one of the most intriguing and criminally under-rated new voices on the fringes of alt-rock. New single âFeetâ finds him leaning into obsession and surrender, that messy zone where pain and pleasure overlap.
The track is about âchasing a limit and not realising youâve long since crossed itâ, he says, âgetting high off the tension, finding intensity in a connection that leaves you in awe or submissionâ.
Itâs about ârejecting boundaries, living raw, authentic, a little fucked - even if it hurtsâ, he adds. âItâs invasive and intimate. Almost dangerousâ.
The track shuffles along on sparse percussion and warm basslines before exploding into a gloriously unhinged, kaleidoscopic guitar solo. Equal parts tense and euphoric, itâs a song that gets under your skin and dances there.
