Following the announcement of their fourth album, APE CONFRONTS COSMOS, released on 6 March on Three Hands Records, Glasgow five-piece BABY CHAOS have now confirmed a hometown show at GLASGOW STEREO on FRIDAY 3 APRIL. Regarded throughout their history as an explosive live band, this homecoming show is destined to be a memorable and celebratory night. Tickets are £10 + booking fee and available from: https://www.ticketweb.uk/event/baby-chaos-stereo-tickets/10375245
With APE CONFRONTS COSMOS, the band has produced a bi-polar behemoth which throws monstrous riffs at walls of harmony, drawing the occasional tender acoustic breath before slapping the listener in the face with further savage guitars and soaring melodies. You can listen to YOU WON, YOU WON, the first track revealed from the album here: https://soundcloud.com/officialbabychaos/you-won-you-won
Following the release of three previous albums, in one case separated by many years apart – SAFE SEX, DESIGNER DRUGS AND THE DEATH OF ROCK AND ROLL [1994] which established the band as energetic upstarts with hugely memorable songs; LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE [1996] which was included in Kerrang! Magazine’s 100 Best British Rock Albums of All Time; and the comeback album SKULLS, SKULLS, SKULLS, SHOW ME THE GLORY [2015] – the band are rightly confident in the value of APE CONFRONTS COSMOS.
“Our fourth album as Baby Chaos represented a very different challenge to album three,” explains singer and guitarist Chris Gordon. “For SKULLS, we drew on many songs that had been lying around for years then added to the cacophony with a host of newly written songs. For APE CONFRONTS COSMOS, we were faced with the blank slate more typically encountered by an active group between albums. Would inspiration strike? And, if so, would it unleash a torrent of enthusiasm that we could white-water all the way to a great fourth album? The feeling among the band is that this may be our finest work yet.”
This new three-pronged guitar assault opened up panoramic possibilities for BABY CHAOS and their new songs, and the band were pushed to the limit of their skills and beyond. As a happy consequence, APE CONFRONTS COSMOS holds its own alongside many of its illustrious contemporaries; the likes of Biffy Clyro, Royal Blood, Muse, Queens of The Stone Age and Foo Fighters, some of whom would also willingly quote BABY CHAOS as an influence in their own formative years.
BABY CHAOS will announce further live dates, videos and details of unique interactive performances soon. In the meantime, APE CONFRONTS COSMOS provides a welcome and exhilarating return. The album will be available on CD, download and limited edition red vinyl and can be pre-ordered here: https://www.babychaos.com/
