American progressive sludgers Baroness have revealed the official video for the track “Anodyne” taken from their new studio album, “Stone,” out on September 15th, 2023 via Abraxan Hymns. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
“Anodyne is one of the more pointed songs of Stone,” says Gina Gleason. “It throws you directly into a dreamy fuzz world with a super driving groove and loads of guitar layers. It does not take its time to unfold, in contrast to a lot of the record, but there are plenty of peaks and valleys packed into this three-and-a-half minute ride!”
“An important through line in Baroness is we don’t like to repeat ourselves,” John Baizley shared as the band publicly announced the album earlier this Summer. “It’s all about the willingness to take risks. When I was younger, the whole point of music was to be different, not to do the same thing, and not to listen to parents or play by the rules. That’s kind of goofy, but in practice, it works. It’s really sort of terrifying to be at the sixth record in your career and think that you’ll have to keep up with your history rather than continually invent. So, we doubled down on continuously inventing to see where it takes us. I think this record is a good reflection of that. »Stone« is a lot more alive, more direct.”
Previously released videos include “Shine,” “Beneath The Rose” and “Last Word.”
