Taste Test: Tim Baker turns sorrow into triumph on ‘All Hands’
Former Hey Rosetta! frontman continues to lay the foundation for a solo career with a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
You can never completely trim your roots. They’ll forever be integral to your various transformations in this life, and Americana-bluesman Tim Baker has certainly been haunted by his past enough to know the truth of it all. “No matter where you’re headed / You’ll end up where you been,” he sings, the words spilling out of him as a bubbly water fountain planted in the town square. But he doesn’t look back with an ounce of bitterness. Instead, he quickly turns such melancholic musings into a victorious mountain shredder. He combs clearly-defined Americana with soul as a cathedral-shattered hymnal, and his delicate sonic building allows the listener to bask in his new-found splendor in calculated increments. Former Hey Rosetta! frontman, Baker appears unafraid and undaunted to shoulder what comes after.
“All Hands” is the second single from his new album, Forever Overhead, out April 19.
