Baby // Donnie and Joe Emerson

I recently discovered this song via Aquarium Drunkard. It was featured on the mix Springtime Promises. This song is probably one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, despite the fact that the singer is inaudible and barely hanging in there vocally on this dreamy lo-fi recording. It’s the kind of song that leaves you breathless while simultaneously wondering, Did they record this in their parent’s basement? And the answer is, yes—kinda. It was recorded in a home-built studio in their family home in Washington state. That’s pretty much all I could get out of Google, and that’s really all I need. The mystery somehow adds to the magic of this song. Play this for someone you love, but they better be The One because you do not want this track ruined for you.

    Donnie & Joe Emerson - Baby It sounds like two teenagers wanted to beat ELO at their “Strange Magic” game. Maybe they...
