My Baby - sake sake sake (2022)

MY BABY is back for the first time post-pandemic with their renowned nuance in ‘sake sake sake’, an album full of unexpected influences, reflection and introspection, and a small flame with a desire for a change for the better.

Made up of three members, them being frontwoman Cato van Dyck, drummer Joost ‘Sheik’ van Dyck, and guitarist Daniel ‘Dafreez’ de Vries, this Dutch-New Zealand trio has roots in rock driven alternative dance and psychedelic riffs and rises. Their sound has become more and more refined overtime, but they still hold the jagged edges that have made them so beloved.

Featuring a variety of sounds, from leaning towards punk to adding pop sensibilities or being simply raw and indie, MY BABY tie this variety of sounds with their characteristic psychedelic and candid style, their magnetic lyricism and electrifying groove and energy.

sake sake sake, their latest studio release, is at its core about innovation; with their constantly evolving sound and presenting themes of our possible future and everything it encapsulates, as well as society’s refusal to change until it’s too late, the trio has taken it upon themselves to speak about the threats our world is facing, while still bringing forth spirited and groovy melodies.

For the project, the band got to work with 5-time Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Dub (Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Daft Punk). Most of the pre-production was done in the band’s own studio with longtime collaborator Mozes Meijer, and at later stages, they worked with producer duo 22Ghosts.
