Birmingham’s post-punk sextet, Baudelaire, has just dropped their latest single, “Preacher.” This track is a daring mix of noise-rock, goth, and post-punk. It’s bold, it’s exhilarating, and it doesn’t hold back. Known for their dark, visceral sound, Baudelaire delves into the raw human experience, crafting intense, captivating atmospheres.
“Preacher” kicks off with a beat you might almost dance to, before diving into fuzzy bass lines and glitchy guitar tones. The vocals? Urgent spoken-word style. It morphs into a catchy chorus that drives the song forward. As it progresses, the song builds through its second verse and chorus, reaching a dynamic middle-eight. The climax? A final chorus that leaves a mark. The band describes it as “abrasive and frenetic,” a noise-rock critique of those who claim to have all the answers.
Baudelaire’s live shows are something else—sold-out gigs across the UK and Paris, plus support slots for Frank Turner, Heartworms, and Crows. Their electrifying performances are winning over fans fast.
