Review

"Thrilled To Be Here," BAILEN's debut album released in 2019, is a mesmerizing dive into harmonious indie-folk. This NYC-based trio, made up of twins Daniel and David alongside their sister Julia, weave together intricate harmonies, poignant lyrics, and striking arrangements that linger long after the music stops. With the magic touch of GRAMMY-Award-winning producer John Congleton, the siblings' musicality—refined by their classically trained parents and deeply diverse music taste—shines brilliantly.

These 11 tracks are a testament to BAILEN’s craftsmanship, exploring profound themes of love, relationships, and self-discovery. Songs like "I Was Wrong" and "Bottle It Up" stand out, blending catchy melodies with heartfelt storytelling. The meticulous production ensures every instrument and vocal harmony is perfectly balanced, creating a lush, immersive soundscape. Garnering praise from both fans and critics, "Thrilled To Be Here" heralds a delightful new energy in the indie-folk realm, inviting comparisons to legends such as Fleetwood Mac and Crosby, Stills, Nash. - Raine
