Freak E​.​P.

by Michael Baker

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Anglo-French Singer-Songwriter Michael Baker has come up with a special concept for all fans of genuine, warm Indie- Folk music: For June 2nd, he announces his digital EP “Freak” as well as an extended album version of “Freak” only available on vinyl published by LOTTE LINDENBERG Records. Making a plea for a joint return to times before Spotify, iTunes and Co., the digital EP includes only four tracks whereas the “Freak” album on vinyl offers a broader song collection of eight songs. The title track “Freak” perfectly emphasizes this nostalgic vibe: “The song explores feelings of sentimentality as well as feeling outcast or different. But it’s also about finding your groove again”, says Michael about the song. The eight tracks on the “Freak” vinyl give a more detailed insight into the mind of the singer- songwriter: Songs about ADHD, depression, sadness or self- consciousness create an intimate atmosphere on vinyl, which the singer-songwriter also creates live on stage. Michael Baker has gained a lot of attention in the UK with his performances. In 2022, he made his Glastonbury debut. He has also performed three times at the official Great Escape including being featured by AWAL distribution as one of their ‘artists to watch in 2019’. Moreover, he played live at the Black Deer Festival and the Union Chappel Church in London. The singer-songwriter also gained placements in editorial playlists including Spotify’s “Lost In The Woods”, Apple Music’s “New in Indie” & Deezer’s “Coffee Chill” and has been featured in The Independent, Clash & Mahogany. In 2023, he’ll be playing at Glastonbury Festival again.

The heavy monsoon To drink by the fire And if God were here too He’d wimper and he’d wail So as the sadness canoes Just meet me half way Once in a blue moon Once in a blue moon Well I don’t think its safe in my city I don’t want you hanging around My folks have a place on the outside of town Could get our heads down? Just once in a blue moon once in a blue moon once in a blue moon Get our heads down The kingdom lies in here So bring me bread with golden honey And I’ll start a revolution from my bed Oh honey I’ll See you once in a blue moon Once in a blue moon Once in a blue moon The heavy monsoon to drink by the fire And if god were here too He’d wimper and he’d wail

Freak 04:21
Whats the light from the glow I’ve seen it once and whispered there you are Back when glory shone like gold And every person loved there neighbour Time goes by Like a Freak I get too nervous And keep it inside for too long Find god on the mountain Find peace by the riverside Said god’s in the mountain yeh Find peace and then you’ll find… So what’s a light and why’s it burn And what do we know what do we know? I found god on the telephone He calls me up when I’m alone Time goes by Like a Freak I get too nervous And keep it inside for too long Find god on the mountain yeh Find peace by the riverside Said gods in the mountain yeh Find peace and then you’ll find…

Lost beauty If you were a turn I’d slide And draw you in the caves of memory So many moments So fed up of time I take a picture sometimes Put it in the dog eared books that I read But I hope there’s a God in the gutter am I hope there’s a God in the gutter am I hope there’s a God in the gutter am I hope there’s a God in the gutter am I Softly sleeps Hands upon shakey lips Entangling the ends of our feet There’s so many moments Remember how to cry It gets better sometimes But I hope there’s a god in the gutter am I hope there’s a god in the gutter am I hope there’s a God in the gutter am I hope there’s a God in the gutter am I hope there’s a God in the gutter am I hope there’s a God Oh there’s beauty in the thunder Fire fire fire Oh there’s saftey in the slumber Fire fire fire But hope there’s a god in the gutter am I hope there’s a god I hope there’s a god Hope there’s a god In this lost beauty If you were a turn I’d slide And draw you in the caves of memory

Oh come down See me again my friend For its been a long time And I’m in this one deep Pour the wine I speak of losing diamonds once again Oh my friend yeh its been a long time But my story remains the same But in truth I know not why I am so sad Or why I been drawing circles in the sand I still dance the flames off a picture frame By the fire I feel no pain People come and people go They give me reasons for believing in life sure Today im not here for the headline Id rather sit back row But in truth I know not why I am so sad Or why I been circles in the sand But in truth I know not why I am so sad Or why I been circles in the sand Been drawing circles in the sand Oh in the sand Been drawing circles in the sand But I can make it better for you now But what goes around in my life my love It comes around
