Baby (White Hinterland album)
Baby is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Casey Dienel's act White Hinterland, released on April 1, 2014, through Dead Oceans.[1] Dienel made the ten-song album in a studio she developed in the basement of her childhood home in Scituate, Massachusetts.[2] Critical reception
Rolling Stone gave the album three and a half of five stars, noting the vocal range Dienel displays on the album, "singing in operatic quivers, howling yelps, haunting harmonic layers and even full-on vocal fry without showing any seams."[4] NME also gave the album three and a half of five stars, saying Baby's sound took previous influences and created something "warm-blooded, rich and at ease with itself. Something that takes the bits of Mariah – ‘Emotions’, ‘Fantasy’ – that didn’t make you want to kill children and wraps them up in the indie tastes of post-Dirty Projectors America." The review criticized the absence of a hook in places, but said "These are quibbles, though, given how much Dienel seems to be pulling ahead of her overcrowded field."[5] Reviewing the album in the Boston Globe, Marc Hirsch said, Baby "seems to construct itself as it goes, incrementally expanding from the bits and scraps of piano and multi-layered unaccompanied vocals of opener 'Wait Until Dark' and culminating in the rollicking, if skewed, roll of penultimate track 'Sickle No Sword.'"[6] Track listingAll tracks are written by Casey Dienel
