Dutch brother duo Baby Condor has released “Silver Stereo,” the third single from their forthcoming self-titled debut EP, which is set to arrive on January 23rd through Coast to Coast records. The track is a melancholic song about a golden era when music felt more like human art than a corporate product, influenced by pop, country, folk, and indie, and defined by a vintage production style, live horns, and an anthem-like chorus. The song’s title is a direct reference to the silver Luxman L-4 amplifier their father owned, which introduced the brothers to the songwriting of the Beatles and Beach Boys, inspiring their mission to create timeless, soul-infused music for the modern listener.
The brothers, Nolle and Beinte Groen, created “Silver Stereo” entirely in their self-built Mermaid Studio, writing, arranging, and producing the track themselves, even utilizing hand-soldered recording gear and analogue effects to achieve their signature sound. The track features Menno Nijen Es on Wurlitzer and Hammond, and a legendary hornpack featuring Isaac McCluskey, Nick Feenstra, and Joël Botma, cementing Baby Condor’s cinematic sound, which offers an escape down endless highways and sunlit coastlines.
