Birmingham’s post-punk six-piece Baudelaire has unleashed their latest single, "Preacher," a powerful track that blends noise-rock, goth, and post-punk in a bold and exhilarating way. Known for their dark, visceral sound, the band’s music explores the raw aspects of the human experience, creating intense, captivating atmospheres.
"Preacher" opens with a near-danceable beat before quickly shifting into fuzzy bass, glitchy guitar tones, and urgent spoken-word vocals. The song evolves, leading into a surprisingly catchy and driving chorus. As the track builds through the second verse and chorus, it reaches a dynamic middle-eight before ending with a climactic final chorus that leaves a lasting impression. Describing the song, the band says: “Abrasive and frenetic, 'Preacher' is a noise-rock takedown of those who claim to have all the answers.”
With sold-out headline shows across the UK and Paris, and support slots for Frank Turner, Heartworms, and Crows, the band’s electrifying live performances are quickly earning them a dedicated following.
