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 āOut Of Control, Into The Wallā 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 āFeetā finds him leaning into obsession and surrender, that messy zone where pain and pleasure overlap.
The track is about āchasing a limit and not realising youāve long since crossed itā, he says, āgetting high off the tension, finding intensity in a connection that leaves you in awe or submissionā.
Itās about ārejecting boundaries, living raw, authentic, a little fucked - even if it hurtsā, he adds. āItās invasive and intimate. Almost dangerousā.
The track shuffles along on sparse percussion and warm basslines before exploding into a gloriously unhinged, kaleidoscopic guitar solo. Equal parts tense and euphoric, itās a song that gets under your skin and dances there.
