FACT SHEET
For fans of Pedro The Lion, Dashboard Confessional, Melanie.
● Baker used to wear a T-shirt that read Sad Songs Made Me Feel Better, “but I feel like I unwittingly put an ‘I am sad’ tattoo on my forehead and cheapened the expression. But I do love wallowing in sad music. Especially The Japanese House [AKA British solo artist Amber Bain].”
● Baker’s first tattoo announced God Exists. She’s added several more, including Love Is The Only Way Out, a lyric from another of her favourite bands, Every Time I Die.
● Amid global turmoil, Baker feels “a bit gross writing about personal instability”, but won’t stop. “I adore bands that scream instructions, like ‘Burn your TV!’, but I have to sift stuff through my experience to feel comfortable sharing it.”
