"Armor, broken armor / Defense takes a toll / Hiding, not revealing / feelings of your own"
Baby Combat has just released another single entitled “Ten Times Fold,” which strays a bit from their usual style but still lives within the all-encompassing indie rock realm. This dreamy and shoe-gaze laden track features chilling guest vocals from Rachel Tan, formerly of the Singapore based band Lost Weekend and a longtime collaborator with Baby Combat’s Noel Yeo. The effortlessly crafted lyricism explores mental health, and common feelings many of us (probably all of us) have throughout life with uncertainty, anxiety, depression and loss of motivation. Music of this subject matter takes integrity and empathy, something for others to relate to and find solace in. The vocal incantations of these lyrics mesh beautifully with the ethereal instrumentation making for a truly stellar track. When I first heard Baby Combat, I was surprised how relatively unknown this project is until I remembered that all the best stuff really is, and nonetheless we hope that more and more people listen to and support Baby Combat because good art should live on and be well appreciated. Check out “Ten Times Fold,” and the rest of Baby Combat’s discography to make your weekend feel a little better.
