Baio has been best known as the bass-player in Vampire Weekend. In his downtime between tours, however, Baio recognized a desire to explore his own individual voice away from the band. Across the albums 9 tracks, Baio wanted to return to electronic music and also to investigate his own lyrical and vocal style to create something quite new and not easily categorized. “it’s not a band record, it’s not a solo record and it’s not a producer record, but a combination of all three," he says.
