(Speakeasy) Baroness' recently released new album, STONE (Abraxan Hymns) gets the deluxe treatment with the addition of six live tracks from the band's 2022 "Your Baroness" tour.
The band has also announced an additional eight acoustic record store performances, with the first of those outings happening this afternoon at Daddy Kool Records in St. Petersburg, Fla.
"Independent music stores are a huge part of our musical background," John Baizley said as Baroness announced the first round of acoustic record store outings. "We discovered so much music in them as teenagers; they undoubtedly had a profound effect on all of our development as young artists (they still do). We are thrilled to be able to travel around the East Coast this September to play stripped down sets in some of our favorite shops."
Fans and critics alike have embraced the DIY-nature of STONE, with Baroness self-producing the album and the slate of videos that have accompanied its release. Revolver, in their current Baroness cover story, said "their sixth full-length is a cathartic testament to both fearless self-reflection and the important of strengthening bonds." Kerrang!, from their recently released cover feature, declared "STONE marks the beginning of a bold new era," and Brooklyn Vegan said the new music finds "Baroness at their most alive and direct."
