The rumors are true. We are releasing our debut album, “Upside Down We’re Flying”. Delivering this album to you has been no small feat. We traversed solar storms and mechanical failures, crash landing on the shores of Secret Beach. Braving bears and brass with Brayden Baird, we crafted an epic, baroque album; a story of loss and frost and Sausalito turkey sandwiches; symphonic phun for the whole phyllum! Evil Twin shall cast its stone upon the plutonic shore of March 13th, a cursed Friday. Julius Caesar died for this, and you will be dying to hear what we do next.

Love Island is officially OUT 💙💙💙 Thank you thank you to all of our friends and everyone who contributed.

Thank you to @jennyalicewatts for being a great friend and incredible photographer (new artist pics are 🔥🔥) thank you to @sometimes_i_make_art and @h.oney.moon for your inspired work on the cover art and our seats of honor at your wedding (👀😏) We had such an excellent time recording this track with @gordonraphael and @mattdemusic at @mercysoundstudios in the Village last Autumn.

I was in a car accident last month and it has overshadowed literally everything exciting including my first solo release “Stupid Little Bird” ! My stupid little injuries have forced me to push back the release show until I literally and figuratively get my balance again but as of last night Stupid Little Bird is officially OUT on all platforms!! I started writing this song while looking at the birds on my windowsill and thinking about how stupid they are - why are you in new york? you have wings. it’s gross here, leave. The song turned into a plea to the bird to get out while you still can. Are you the bird? Who knows. Am I the bird? Who cares, it’s a bop. I hope the lush harmonies, melancholy lyrics, and catchy bird-calls make you feel happy and sad at the same time. Thank you to everyone who threw themselves into this project, I am so proud of this song and it’s because of all of you & I mean that: Acoustic Guitar / Lead Vocal / Song - me Production - Brayden Baird (with help from, Ezra Ouellete, Monica Barker, Arya Gaston, & me) @aryagracegaston Engineer - Brayden Baird & me Electric Guitar / Bass - Brayden Baird Harmonies - Monica Barker, Alice Marks, Kate Nelson, me Drums - Pat Freeman @patfree_ Mix - Brayden Baird Master - Kevin Basko @kbasko Album art - me and one more big thanks to Sparta Distribution for taking me on & making it happen! @spartadistribution This is the tip of the iceberg, please listen, & don’t forget me in my solitude <3

Hello World, My name is Brayden Baird. In January of 2024 I recorded an album in Vermont with all of my best friends. Link in bio. It's called "Lord, why do you do these things to me?" We recorded the album in about 3 days. It is the greatest (public) achievement of my life to date. There will be a release show @rabbithole.bk on Thursday 6/26 This album could and would only exist thanks to the work of so many beautiful and talented people, Thank you @klovisgaynor for your piano Thank you @_no_swag for your Bass and adlibs Thank you @albindefritos for your lead guitar Thank you @largewilliamstyles for your percussion Thank you @deadshakers for your Bari and Effectron Thank you @patfree_ for your acoustic guitar Thank you Manriel Grant for your vocals Thank you @sometimes_i_make_art for your vocals Thank you @danielreubenrome for your engineering, mixing and production work Thank you @jennyalicewatts for your vocals and for documenting the whole process Thank you @its.august.live for your video work Thank you Zef for your emotional support Lastly, a never ending thank you to @mark_balderston for clarinet, production, backup vocals and for making the impossible happen with this album and for believing in me enough to help make my dreams come true. When I say this album could never have happened without you I mean it. This album was conceived in a pit of darkness, grief and despair. This album was born in a room full of hope, joy and love. Light can only exist in darkness. If you read this far please go out and do or make something with the people you love. We all just need to sit in a field on a blanket with friends All videos/photos/album art: @jennyalicewatts
