Baby Teardrops Release “Smooth Sailing Ahead” Mp3

NEW YORK (Apr. 18, 2011) — Baby Teardrops, the neo-grunge trio from NYC got “Smooth Sailing Ahead” stuck in your head by putting out a great video for the song and now they’re ready to relieve your earworm by releasing the mp3. “Smooth Sailing Ahead,” with its driving beat and “rosier than possible” mantra is a quintessential Baby Teardrops song: fun with a twist. “A person can try to be positive about things,” says frontman Matthew Dunehoo. “But then…can they really?  I mean, isn’t when you quit worrying about getting hit by a bus that you get hit by a bus?” “Smooth Sailing Ahead” can be found on the trio’s upcoming album, X is for Love, which came out April 12.

Like the burst of energy that comes from colliding particles, Dunehoo (vocals, guitar), Megan Thomas (bass) and Gerry White (drums) derive their sound from clash and collision of distinct personalities. The result is full of driving, propulsive rhythm and hypnotic mantras. The collection of the trio’s exothermic synergy can be found on X is for Love, their latest release.

“I demanded a band and Gerry and Megan came down pipe direct from God and the Devil,” says front man and songwriter, Dunehoo, of the creation of Baby Teardrops, and it sums up the dynamic well. In March 2010, the band reunited after fate seemed to will it so. They’re not wasting the chance either, recording X is for Love with Erik Schuiten at Yessian Music in Manhattan on off hours. Dunehoo says of the title, “It felt right. When cartoon humans and animals are depicted as dead, they have Xs over their eyes, yet ‘X’ stands for ‘KISS’ as in XOXO. X marks the spot, the heart, the g-spot, the buried treasure, the pressure point, the line to sign.” All of these elements are to be found on the album, the joyous and beautiful crashing into the difficult and painful with a collection of songs that sound like that of a grunged out New Pornographers if they met The Pixies.

Baby Teardrops streamlined sound allows for Dunehoo’s lyrics to stand center stage. “I like the idea of taking a simple idea, something that exists whether we care about it or not, and glorifying it,” he says. “And more than that, I love language and the magical power language possesses to cut through and open up and be foul and sexy. The possibilities are endless.” On “Banged in the Heart,” he takes the feeling of being so deeply affected that you just have to shout and translates it into the repeated phrase “banged in the heart,” a perfect description of heart-exploding emotion. And it seems this, at the core is what Baby Teardrops is all about, says Dunehoo, "This band operates by one rule: Bang others in the heart as you would like to be banged in the heart.”


Praise for Baby Teardrops

"The band revisits the sound of the 90s in a poppier, less abrasive and rather sophisticated way. If you miss those mood lifting 'loud-quiet-loud' oh so '90s moments, you'll be able to find them again in these guys' music, although a little more tamed compared to what the Pixies or Nirvana used to do."
—The Deli

"The first video single has hit YouTube, and this gives us an idea of what's in store - and what's in store is looking pretty fine.  Well done, bud."
—Present Magazine

"Brooklyn's Baby Teardrops -- which is fronted by former local indie-rocker Matt Dunnehoo of Doris Henson -- rolled through Kansas City to pick up the Roman Numerals before heading down south for the MidCoast Takeover showcase, and they treated RecordBar to one hell of a night of dancing, racing indie-rock."
—Pitch Weekly

"Smooth Sailing Ahead" Music Video featured as MAGNET's "Film At 11"
—MAGNET Magazine

"...Baby Teardrops provide a cool soundtrack for the last few snowboard and the first few skate or surfboard sessions of the year...Fans of pioneering 80s Westcoast label SST Records and acts like Dinosaur L, Angst, Trotsky Icepick or Husker Du should give this a spin...It’s the big wall-of-guitar noise grounded by propulsive bass and drums that screams 80s Grunge, yet the songwriting has moved on and Baby Teardrops are more than a Grunge revival band."
—Tuneraker.com

"Indie rockers Baby Teardrops make it immediately clear they've got a clear, concise rock vision few other bands just starting out could even dream of."
—Yahoo! News

"...cooler than an eskimo's butt cheeks 'Banged In The Heart', which sounds like The Dandy Warhols if they'd been born in Seattle..."
—The Devil Has The Best Tuna
