What would you think if I say, “Someone shoved a knife deep into my heart and all I felt was joy”? Sounds pathetic? Sure...
But all I wanted to describe is the feeling that I had after listening to Keef Baker’s new album called “Redeye”. This album is like traveling around the world in less than 60 minutes. It’s filled with rough edges. I love it when things aren’t so apparent. “Redeye” is an album with power and a rough energy, but it’s also an album, which is really loud and powerful in its quietest moments. This chameleon plays hide and seek with the listener. For example take “Tombola Thrill Killer” a track that starts with a hardcore punk loop and becomes a colorful picture in the end the track goes back to the start. This album can’t be conceived in one listen through, it shows you all of its beauty like a rose unfolding its petals. Pathetic again? Yes, again. I love this album; it is a beautiful labyrinth that is essential for your ears.  

An adorable album that causes danger of addiction
Wonderful!
