Babe Rainbow’s “Waterfall” Was Born on an Amsterdam Houseboat and Sounds Like It
Babe Rainbow have always operated at the intersection of beach day and head trip, and “Waterfall” lands squarely in that sweet spot. The second single from their forthcoming seventh album ACID AND HONEY was produced on an Amsterdam houseboat and finished by Kyle Mullarky at his Malibu ranch, and that itinerant genesis is baked into the track. It sounds like Sheryl Crow’s sunkissed alt-country got filtered through Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s hazy lo-fi pop and emerged ready for extroverted beach days and chill summer nights.
ACID AND HONEY arrives July 16 via Eureka/AWAL, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have already called it Babe Rainbow’s “slickest record ever.” The duo kicks off a US headline tour the day before the album drops, running through August 2 from San Diego to Montauk. Pre-order the album below.
