Today marks the arrival of BAYNK's second album, 'SENESCENCE', and if the buzz surrounding its lead singles is anything to go by, the New Zealand-born, LA-based artist is about to cement his status as one of the most exciting names in electronic music.
'SENESCENCE' isn't just a follow-up to his GRAMMY-nominated debut, 'ADOLESCENCE'. It's a leap forward, a daring fusion of pop sensibilities, deep house grooves, and ambient textures that showcases BAYNK's growth as a producer and songwriter.
"It took a long time for my output to catch up with my taste," BAYNK admits. It's clear that time was well spent. 'SENESCENCE' is a testament to BAYNK's musical curiosity, drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences while maintaining a distinct sound that's uniquely his own. Lyrically, the album delves into themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, showcasing a newfound depth and maturity. "The songs still have the DNA of dance music," BAYNK explains, "but the album is mostly concerned with love, friendship, and death."
The lead singles have already made waves. 'Feel', with its infectious beats and neon-drenched visuals, was praised by Flaunt Magazine for its "immersive, blurry neon fantasy." 'Fool For You' earned a spot on KCRW's prestigious "5 Songs to Hear This Week" list, while 'Grin' caught the attention of none other than Elton John, who featured it on his Rocket Hour BBC show.
The critical acclaim is matched by BAYNK's growing fanbase. His Soundcloud Sound Advice series racked up 20K listens, proving his insights resonate with aspiring artists and music lovers alike. With three headline tours of the US under his belt, sold-out shows across the globe, and festival appearances at Coachella and Lollapalooza, BAYNK's live performances are as captivating as his music.
'SENESCENCE' is more than just an album. It's a statement of intent. BAYNK isn't content to rest on his laurels; he's pushing boundaries, exploring new sounds, and telling stories that connect with listeners on a deeper level. If the early buzz is anything to go by, 'SENESCENCE' is destined to be one of the year's most talked-about electronic releases.
