“Maggot Water” By Baby Boys

Baby Boys have shared a new video for their single “Maggot Water,” the track is off their debut album Threesome. Produced by multimedia artist Arts + Craft, and co-directed alongside Baby Boys’ Caleb Hinz, the video features a one-of-a-kind virtual performance inside a refrigerator by the band of producers/multi-instrumentalists Hinz, Jake Luppen, and Nathan Stocker. The song (one of the first Baby Boys recorded together) was inspired by the state of a studio fridge when the band arrived to start recording: “BJ Burton (Bon Iver, Taylor Swift) had been gone for about three summer months and when we got there we realized the power had been out that whole time so the basement was completely molded and the fridge was thawed. As we were cleaning everything up Nathan opened the freezer to discover a hellish scene of rotten food and black water completely filled with maggots. Pretty inspiring.”

Baby Boys’ Threesome is comprised of ten tracks. The LP was recorded at BJ Burton’s Minneapolis studio after Burton left for Los Angeles, the entirety of Threesome came together in one week of 2pm to 6am studio sessions.

“We started the track by cramming 10 of Nathan’s song ideas for the sessions into that 8 second intro that exists,” Baby Boys added of the recording process. “Although he’s still bummed that we used his life’s work as a footnote, it opened the door for us to make a real barn burner about a moldy fridge.”
