Mezzo Islândia, mezzo Suécia, o duo Baula é daquela pepitas que quando aparecem em nossa frente rola um flerte imediato, sabe como é?
Indiepop bubblegum ensolarado, com conexões óbvias a outra duo bem conhecido de todos, o The Raveonettes, mas apenas uma conexão de referências e influências, mesmo porque o Baula passeia mais pelo lado melódico e assovíavel da coisa toda.

Três singles no currículo, "Don´t Bother", "Just Like Yesterday" e o mais recente "Nova", são deliciosos aperitivos para um futuro cintilante. Será? Talvez, afinal tudo pode acontecer...
Mas se por ventura nada disso aconteça, delicie-se com o Baula, sem contra indicações.
***** Interview with Baula *****
Q. When did Baula start? Tell us about the history...
Hi! Baula was formed by Kallo and Ísak back in 2015 before the Icelandic Airwaves festival. We kick started the band by playing 11 off-venue gigs during the festival week. Since then we have released three singles: ‘Don’t Bother’, ‘Just Like Yesterday’ and most recently ‘Nova’.
Q: Who are your influences?
We both love the guitarish world of The Raveonettes”, the atmosphere in their songs is melancholy perfected. We are also very inspired by the the rhythmic tunes of “Man Man” as well as their extremely well written lyrics.
Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
P.J. Harvey - White Chalk
Man Man - On Oni Pond
The Raveonettes - Observator
Berndsen - Planet Earth
Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Once More, With Feeling
Q. How do you feel playing live?
We love playing live! It’s an integral part of our music and we always strive to write songs that we can perform live. On stage we are accompanied by two more musician-friends of ours, together we always have a good time on and off stage.
Q. How do you describe Baula sounds?
We tend to describe ourselves as alternative-pop. Soundwise we lean towards an alternative-rock/indie sound but we got the pop hooks there as well. We weight down our lyrics with a blanket of melancholy.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
“Just Like Yesterday” was recorded wholly in our kitchen, from the drum loop to the vocals. After that we sent it for mixing and mastering. For our latest single “Nova” things could not have been more different. It was recorded in studio Music A Matic in Gothenburg with producer Henryk Lipp who also mixed and mastered the song. There we had access completely different world of equipment and expertise compared to the kitchen utensils at home.
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
We are of the opinion that every soul should listen at least once to the genius of “Shitkid”, “YXA” and “KATTHEM”!
Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
“Feathers” by Man Man.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
This autumn we’ll continue to write new songs before going into the studio again to record our debut EP. It should hit the streets next year!
Q: Any parting words?
Hej då!
