    White Hinterland's third album is the most instrumentally complex thing I've heard this project deliver thus far. Not only that but mastermind Casey Dienel's voice is sounding better than ever between all of these power piano ballads and dense, soulful art pop tunes.

    The balance between disjointed and frenetic sounds and vocals and the sense of detailed harmony in this album is admiring and worth a try. Overall, Baby is a pretty interesting world to get in and get lost in.

    Hinterland’s whole existence seems to be balancing conflicting interests: to be abstract/direct, about feelings/ideas, of genre/not tied to any genre. You can hear that conflict in their sound. It is their sound.

    Baby bares it all, fully absorbing R&B, gospel, and pop influences, taking a further step into the arena of the melisma-inflected popstress.

    At its best White Hinterland can certainly hold its ground alongside these artists, but it's a much tougher and more crowded scene than where she came from.
