Ghost Cult Keefy caught up with John Dyer Baizley of Baroness to discuss the band’s recent album “Stone” – out now on Abraxan Hymns, the band’s own imprint. We discussed the new album, the consistency of the current lineup, their tradition of unplugged shows at independent record stores, John’s lyrical growth over the years, and much more!
Since the music of Baroness has been unlike any other band to me, and more akin to a spiritual experience since I first got into them in 2007, I set the mood for myself before listening. I turned the lights down low, cracked the window open to get a nice breeze going, and heard the sound of large late summer raindrops filling my ears. The city’s heartbeat in the deep background was the only other sound besides my breathing. I just stared at the new album artwork for five straight minutes. At peace for a change, in the still and calm of myself, and by chance, present in the city of my birth for a few days, I hit play on the promo and then let the first notes hit me.
