Released in September 2004 baby boy h’s debut album “the later” encapsulated the immense sound of their live shows. “the later” transcends the common ideas of what optimism and hope are while retaining a dark, mysterious force. The music and lyrics merge in and out of contradiction with each other, and as the highs are powerful, the lows are as a vacuum, creating a tension that is all but electric. Entirely self recorded and produced, “the later” has all the makings of a Boston underground classic.
Released in May of 2006 is the bands second work “the imaginary dream”. In this EP, all of the optimism of “the later” is lost and replaced with a disturbing account of sadness, anger and loss. Musically less traditional than its predecessor, the songs pound in and out of flowing melodies and fits of unparalleled power. Segues, a very important component of “the later”, become almost as songs in “the imaginary dream”. Each track tells its own story, but repeating ideas, both lyrically and musically, tie the album together as one sweeping narrative. Another self-produced work, “the imaginary dream” is a perfect example of the creative vision of baby boy h.
