The big riff sound of Sad Baxter is part of the 90′s resurgence movement that bands like Bully, The By Gods and others have tackled full force. This isn’t a knock on them but, rather, just an apt description of the influences they’re drawing from. The latest 7-inch, “Baby†b/w “Silver†continues that sound with explosive force. Deezy Violet’s vocals have an occasionally growling texture to them that’s hard not to enjoy, particularly when they explode through a choral backing.Â
It’s one song but it’s so good that it debuted on NPR’s Songs We Love, a deserving endorsement.
