Chris Baio and Michael Greene are back with new songs using their C.Y.M. name.
After a long break since their 2019 EP, they’ve dropped two tracks called “Justify” and “Catania”, and “Catania” even has Colin Killalea playing the saxophone, which is pretty cool and unexpected.
They said together, “‘Justify / Catania’ is the first taste of a journey that began in January 2020. This journey involves many places (Los Angeles, London, Glasgow, Paris, and Lagos) and many extremely talented collaborators (we’ll be telling you all about them soon). There’s a long road ahead; for now, we hope you enjoy the beginning of this ride.”
People sometimes wonder if musicians get tired of switching projects, but it looks like Baio and Greene really love working together, no matter how long it takes.
Baio hasn’t just been sitting around—he put out Dead Hand Control in 2021 and will be joining Vampire Weekend for shows this summer, which sounds like a busy schedule.
Every now and then, I think about how wild it is that Fort Romeau’s “Pablo” got such a detailed review back in 2018, and now we’re here listening to new C.Y.M. music.
