Marrying Psychedelic Pop with Folk and a touch of Country, “Earthling On The Road To Self Love” is the sublime debut album by Brisbane, Australia-based artist Baby Cool – the latest side project by Nice Biscuit co-front woman Grace Cuell. Cuell says of the record, which follows her debut single “Magic” and tours with Babe Rainbow and The Lazy Eyes: “The songs on this album are deeply sentimental. I have a lot I need to sing about to help me make sense of this earthly pod I have been gifted. If in singing these words out loud, I can help others find solace in knowing that we’re all out here flailing about in the cosmos, then it feels good to me.”
Recorded with Sam Joseph (Family Jordan), the songs on “Earthling” were brought to life with the help of Jess Ferronato (Nice Biscuit), Nick Cavendish (Nice Biscuit) and Drew Heyden (The Flamingo Jones): “I had such a beautiful community of friends that helped bring this whole thing to life. There was magic and love in every part of the process of creating this album.”
Baby Cool, the new project from Nice Biscuit’s co-front woman Grace Cuell, is today beckoning us further into her mystical realm with the brand-new single, the hypnotic Psych-Folk feast “The Sea.” The latest offering is lifted from Baby Cool‘s debut record “Earthling on the Road to Self Love,” set for release on Friday, February 10, 2023 via Greenway / The Reverberation Appreciation Society (US), Virgin Music Australia & Fuzz Club / Bad Vibrations (UK/EU).
A sublime marriage of Psychedelic Pop/Folk with flourishes of Country, “The Sea” is a song written by Cuell during a time of dwindling mental health, and later recorded with Sam Joseph (Family Jordan / King Gizzard) in a picturesque studio shack in the northern rivers of NSW.
“The songs on ‘Earthling On The Road To Self Love’ are deeply sentimental,” she continues. “I have a lot I need to sing about to help me make sense of this earthly pod I have been gifted. If in singing these words out loud, I can help others find solace in knowing that we’re all out here flailing about in the cosmos, then it feels good to me.“
