News Flash

Howdy. Long time no speak, I know.

Important news: kingbaldwin.com is now going to exclusively relate to King Baldwin the pianist/philosopher/youtube film maker/introvert/etc. The band component is being folded back into the 'Dubious Ranger' band name, which has always been close to my heart. The albums previously made as King Baldwin, which include the self-titled EP, Castle of Love, and Music For Unsafe Sex, will now be Dubious Ranger Presents: King Baldwin... . And the exciting new collection of songs, "Found Recordings From The Panda Valley Mining Company c.1931," is ready to be heard in the near future; it'll just be released as Dubious Ranger. I shall post links in due time to where you may hear the new album, but as a descriptive teaser: it sounds exactly like its name.

Not vague at all.

Yours,
King Baldwin

New King Baldwin Album In The Works

What does King Baldwin do when they release a tongue-in-cheek funk album called "Music For Unsafe Sex"? They follow it up with an ethnomusicological study of American mining work-songs, of course. King Baldwin discovered several recordings while on a trip to a series of caverns in Idaho. These rare recordings are estimated to date from c.1931. What's next? Well, the band is hard at work crafting these found songs into hybrids with tons of new original material, all of which will form a brand-new and very unique-sounding album. If you like Tom Waits and/or Beck, well, stay tuned!
