With a spaciousness and clarity Baby Bats brings together introspective vocals, percussive synths, spare drums and crystalline melodic sequences to create an enigmatic mood on “too much.” One gets the sense that the song is about an association or an aspect of one’s life that saps you of your energy and motivation on a deep level. The lyrics to the song suggest that this is an expectation or obligation that makes constant demands on your time and attention. Like the phenomenon of doom scrolling or if you’re an artist or anyone that depends on awareness of your efforts to even try to thrive the way you have to contribute to performative social media platforms. It’s a fact of life and a dynamic that can be completely enervating. The song’s low key dance beats sound like the new version of dark synth pop akin to the likes of Nuovo Testamento in that the vibe is 80s dance club informed by modern techno production and though more on the melancholic side equally entrancing. Listen to “too much” on Spotify.
