Stream/Download: Baio – The Silent / New You

Late last week, Baio—the budding New York production talent who also serves as the low-end provider (read “bass player”) for the Vampire Weekend outfit—dropped a pair of new songs for free download. Serving as the first slices of audio since the excellent Sunburn EP debuted Baio’s production project earlier this year, “The Silent” and “New You” find the man in similarly tropical-tinged territory, but with a bit more drive and heavier nod to the weirder sides of the dancefloor. Gorgeous melodies, hard to pin-down percussion, glitched samples, and synths upon synths upon synths put these two right up our alley. You can stream and download both tunes via the player below.
