Max Baby
Max Baby has found his sound in the hostile no-man's-land of postmodernism, where influences merge and shatter, between trashy fiction and bitter reality. The autodidact and multi-instrumentalist records his inspirations at night, when all the glasses have been emptied and cigarette butts are the only remnants of once euphoric moments. But Max doesn’t just hear music, he sees it, feels it. Living with synesthesia, a neurological condition that blurs the lines between senses, he experiences sounds as colours, textures, and spatial impressions. Every track becomes a physical space to navigate, an atmosphere to sculpt. This sensory interplay shapes a sound that feels nocturnal, inhabited, and raw. Last year, the first single ‘Hardcore’ (2024) immediately introduced his distinctive style, somewhere between new wave, neo-psychedelia, and bass-heavy art rock, with the energy to fill clubs and headphones alike. His debut EP ‘Out Of Control, Into The Wall’ (2024) captured a restless, unfiltered snapshot of Gen-Z’s existential condition. His new single ‘I Can Do Anything’ deepens the picture: a tense, melancholic track about self-doubt and the impossibility of letting go, masked by a fragile sense of control. Much like a modern dandy, Max Baby observes the state of his generation and repurposes the analyses into nocturnal songs that spring from his own soul and resonate with the soul of many others. A synaesthetic production wizard who has carved out his own niche in the massif of the contemporary music world — but still shuns any anaemic commercial ambitions.
