Bakers Eddy Release Fan-Favourite ‘Sober’ + Debut Album Out This Month

Bakers Eddy fans rejoice! The New Zealand four-piece have finally released Sober – the band’s new single and the longstanding unofficial anthem of their loyal fanbase. Steeped in Bakers Eddy’s signature energy and rich with joyous chaos, the latest offering from the band’s debut album Love Boredom Bicycles (out 25th March 2022) promises to be as anthemic as the band’s previous singles. With its unrelenting pace, racing chords and youthful vigour, Sober is bursting with irresistible energy and nostalgia and is one that never fails to get the party started, live!

Sober is an ode to the fantastic confusion of youth. With lyrics like “And I’m just terrified, I can’t remember what I’m trying to find, where will I be when I’m 25?” and “And I can’t tell if it’s just me or someone that I’d rather be”, Bakers Eddy explore the tension between the terror of self-discovery and resounding hope in their trademark humorous tone.

In the lead-up to the release, the band took to their socials to encourage their fans to join them for a week of sobriety, and even going so far as to drop off Heaps Normal non-alcoholic beer to lucky fans – watch it all go down HERE!

Sober is another taste of band’s upcoming debut album Love Boredom Bicycles. Produced by Holy Holy’s Oscar Dawson, Bakers Eddy capture the exuberant spirit of youth, with good times coursing through its veins. Everything sounds effortless for singer Ciarann Babbington and his bandmates: twin brothers, guitarist Alex and bassist Ian Spagnolo, and drummer Jamie Gordon. Living together in sharehouse in Melbourne, Bakers Eddy’s music is bursting with youthful energy, swagger, a bucket load of hooks and an irresistibly charming sense of humour.

It was all about creating an environment where energy and spirits are high. “Even when we were recording guitar and bass,” says Alex, “we’d all be standing up and hopping along and shit like that, not just sitting there, trying to get everything perfect.” For the band it was about vibe over everything. “We made a point of making it sound more like the demos, cos when the demos were recorded at home we were often having a bit of a party,” says Ciarann. “It’s like, let’s be loud and have some fun.”
