B.A.R.O.N.S, lets loose his unforgiving track, “Asleep At The Wheel” from his debut album “Le Creme De La Meme”. The riotous track establishes B.A.R.O.N.S as a force to be reckoned with. Not intimidated by the pressures of society, he dares to take an unfiltered look at the world today. The album unmasks the cracks beneath the surface and exposes the truths that many choose to ignore.
“Asleep At The Wheel” yields a powerful sonic landscape. Vigorous techno backbeats drive through the airways, shortly followed by heavy metal guitar riffs that battle with a relentless percussion. “Asleep At The Wheel” is the sonic representation of the organised chaos that B.A.R.O.N.S views society to be.
Discussing “Le Creme De La Meme”, B.A.R.O.N.S shares. “Four years ago, I came back from an operation where I went without cell service and human contact for six months straight. I was in a completely different place with people who either loved you or hated you. Afterwards, I went to Hawaii to spend some time with my family. During my time there, I walked into a shopping mall where I found it crazy that people were paying $300 for a pair of sunglasses… Where I’d just come back from was a place where people, maimed by bullets, mud, sweat, & tears, were just happy to have a hat.
This got me thinking about not only how materialistic we have become but also how much of a joke we are, as a species. ‘Le Creme De Le Meme’, which translates to ‘the greatest meme’, is a commentary on society. The greatest meme is us - we’re a badly written joke with a hell of a punchline…”
