Stream: "A Little Lost" at ARTINFO

Nat Baldwin's forthcoming record People Changes opens with a cover of Arthur Russell’s “A Little Lost.” ARTINFO has an exclusive stream of the track and caught up with Nat to discuss his fondness for the late cellist and chat about his new record out May 24 on Western Vinyl.

People Changes is much like the stark Maine setting in which it was created. Of course, his fourth full-length shows welcome markings of his experimental bent from years as the Dirty Projectors bassist and former disciple of free jazz legend Anthony Braxton, but the serene isolation of 17 million acres of New England forestland make this cabin-born set intimate and sincere. The album follows A Split EP with Extra Life (2008, Shatter Your Leaves) on which earlier versions of “Weights” and “Lifted” appear, Most Valuable Player (2008), Enter the Winter (2006) and Lights Out EP (2005) on Broken Sparrow Records, and his experimental free jazz debut Solo Contrabass (2003, Peacock Recordings). In addition to Dirty Projectors, Nat Baldwin has performed on Vampire Weekend’s Contra and Department of Eagles' In Ear Park.
