Synopsis

Album Description
In an era when bands aping the worst of New Wave are considered chic, it's rather startling to hear the dance, funk, jazz and lounge influences behind THE BALDWIN BROTHERS' second album, THE RETURN OF THE GOLDEN RHODES. Wildly diverse, yet consistent, Chicago's own Baldwins bring the groove. "Give `em a Hand" is pure 70s funk with a slight electronic makeover; "Swing Along" goes more retro, mixing an Austin Powers-like vibe with a lightning quick rap from female rapper Sarai. R&B, soul and Kraftwerkian beats also permeate the album, and the dreamy, Moody Bluesish closer, "The Party Is Over," is a welcome surprise... in part because of the guest vocal appearance by underground rock icon Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age). Other featured guests on this album are Lisa Kekaula (The BellRays, Basement Jaxx) and The Wreacked Train (Lo-Fidelity Allstars).

"The Baldwin Brothers are refreshingly creative, interesting and fun! The Baldwin Brothers are one of the rare bands that you can't mistake for any other act. If you like Ursula 1000, Pizzicato Five, Beastie Boys or Morcheeba chances are good that you'll like this album.



I saw them live in Detroit with The Supreme Beings of Leisure and Ben Neill. All of them were awesome (SBL played the xylophone live!) but the Baldwin Brothers stole the show!



For their first album the Baldwin Brothers recorded their live jam sessions and mixed "cooking with lasers" from those sessions. I don't know if they still use that method, but they rock, and that's what matters.



If corporate radio gives you the "shaft," you'll dig "The Return of the Golden Rhodes!""
