Lord Baltimore ‘Black Triptych’ Video Premiere

New York City-based bassist Lord Baltimore (Jack Doyle) has released the video to his single ‘Black Triptych’. ‘Black Triptych’ is a swagger-dipped slinky number as Lord Baltimore creates another dramatic and invigorating track through indie elements, rich percussion and eerie atmosphere. With haunting soundscapes swirling around strident pines on guitars while Doyle’s rich and deep vocals ache and exclaim over the catchy melody. His expressive vocals are always commanding however the lighter instrumental versus contrast the intense vocals superbly. The track bubbles and boils, creeping into the infectious chorus. The use of heavy beats and acoustic guitar injections freshens up the track while the fuzzed bass and conflicting soundscapes make this track invigorating and a joy to the ears. 

The video is part ghost story, part love song, and part rap video pastiche. If you want to see sex dolls in bike crashes, ghosts hopped up on malt liquor, and a recently deceased cyclist coming to grips with the afterlife, this might just be the video for you.

About the video Doyle said: “‘Black Triptych’ is a study of grief and catharsis.Inspired by white painted “ghost like memorials that commemorate passed cyclists, the creative team found an often overlooked but hauntingly familiar visual metaphor to epitomize the nature of loss. In contrast to the gloomy subject matter, the video seeks to revel in macabre humour, finding levity in the form of vandalism .. traffic violations. .. loitering .. public drunkenness.. Indecency.. And disturbing the peace. All in celebration of the hope that perhaps death is not the end …”

Lord Baltimore ‘Camille’

New York City-based bassist Lord Baltimore (Jack Doyle)  has released his new single ‘Camille’. This dramatic and consuming experimental dance number showcases Lord Baltimore’s intense and riveting musicianship. He exquisitely weaves elegant tones and a flighty sense of innocence through gritty, dazzling and heavy electronics. A pulsing beat creates a fluctuant and bubbling foundation while the pining almost eerie guitar entwines the track in a dangerous, sinister and almost sultry tone. The magnificent electronics flash and create a coiling, ominous soundscape as the track rushes and flutters between fuzzy distortion and sweet danceable sways of grandeur. It’s a magnificent, compelling piece of work as the catchy melody glides effortlessly into your mind while Jacks vocals  seamlessly meander from sweet lulls to growls of aggression. Spine chilling and utterly mesmerising Lord Baltimore creates tracks to entice, satisfy and engage all your senses while packing a meaty narrative through his lyrics. 

About the track Lord Baltimore said: “Camille is a song about Camille Claudel, muse to famous French sculptor Auguste Rodin.She was the victim of a pervasive anti-woman sentiment in the arts that hasn’t yet totally faded.  This song was our bid to tell the tale of her life, work and tragedy. We chose to further venerate her legacy with a music video that involves breaking into an abandoned warehouse, staging a ballet, shaving the lead actress’ head and smashing a chandelier with a plank of wood. You know, normal stuff.”

It’s tantalizing, dramatic with enough eerier haunting mystery and sultry atmospheric twists to keep it on repeat.

It’s a gripping, cinematic and fascinating track from Lord Baltimore.
