First person to get this as a chest piece is the first person to get this as a chest piece.

There was a time (err, every post we ever did on Bailiwick) where the endearing phrase “indie folk darlings” and the name of the band appeared in a 1:1 ratio. Was it overused? Absolutely not! A modern-day Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Fleetwood, Taylor and Mitchell, Bailiwick give us more beauty than we know what to do with, and “indie folk darlings” was the best way to describe it all (plus they’re all really sweet kids). Why, I remember when I used to fall in love with whomever I happened to be looking at when “Austerlitz” came on shuffle.

But does that title still fit? Because this album is going to be big. Real big, like Conan one night, Letterman the next, Jools Holland and then the Newport Folk Festival. BOOM. So while they will remain darling, I daresay we should start referring to them as gods.

See them live at the Student Market in Case tomorrow (Friday) between 2:00 and 3:00.  Update: even gods need their rest. Due to the fact that Bailiwick is going to play in Troy tonight, the appearance at the Student Market has been canceled. However, band members will be around “sneakpeaking/taking preorders” for the album, as well as selling tickets to the show in Troy. They might even help with finding you a ride!

After that, the album will be available on a pay-what-you-will basis starting this Saturday on the Bandcamp. Hard copies available for $5. Here’s the (fbook) for future reference.
