Baio, the side-project of Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio, came to us today with a new EP. His first one,
Sunburn, was an energetic and worldly sampling of his talents as a producer and definitely warranted multiple listens, Vampire Weekend associations aside. This new EP comes in at one song shorter but still serves as a progression in style. "The Silent" features pulsating synths and involved percussion, while "New You" registers in the vein of Jamie xx -- bright, haunting and experimental. Both tracks are worth a quick spin. Considering how great all these VW side-projects have been, it's becoming less and less surprising to see how good Vampire Weekend as a whole is.
