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!
