  • Summary: One of two releases in 2017 (the other is Easy Machines) for the San Francisco Bay Area-based experimental artist is said to have been written/recorded to reflect the evening and as a more external album.

    Baby Blue Abyss is a shape-changing beast. Styles vary, the approach is schizophrenic, but still the core of Baird and his scattershot mood remains.

    The evening set is more dynamic. [Jun 2017, p.23]

    Baird’s weary, almost impassive croon and deadpan humour across both records can’t hide his serious resistance to our self-deceiving, digitally distanced lives.

    Baby filters modern life through psychedelia, early Beck and , on Graveyard Dawn, exciting imaginings of a Giorgio Moroder-produced Pink Floyd. [Jun 2017, p.105]
