Someone To Watch Over Me

180 Gram Blue / Red Marbled Vinyl housed in reverse board sleeve with lyric insert and download. 500 Copies. Oakland, CA’s No Babies return with their second LP, another furiously ecstatic exploration of the overlapping margins of punk, hardcore, and no wave. Someone to Watch Over Me follows on from the band’s debut LP of 2011 and its successive fleet of empowering / impoding 7”s and EPs. Victoria M. Ruiz (of Downtown Boys) provides backup vocals on The Weight and Internalized, whilst Hazia features a quote from Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Farthest Shore. Someone to Watch Over Me is a reminder of the twin powers of sorrow and strength, noise and melody, anger and joy.
