On Monday, June 17th @ 8:30pm, gloop airs a recent conversation with Hudson Valley, NY based band, Babehoven.
With latest album, Water’s Here In You, Babehoven has crafted something intricate and memorable, their own Spiral Jetty of melody and sound—built from the darkness of mud and the sparkle of salt—with lyrics that feel embedded in the land. The album is a rallying cry for camaraderie in the face of life’s challenges, resonating like a divining rod leading us to the source of our own strength: the water inside us, connecting us, nourishing us. It is an invitation, an offering, and a suggestion that we are at our best together. “We all need each other, especially now,” songwriter Maya Bon says, reaching out a hand.
The album continues the thread of the band’s sonic DNA—blending hyper-melodic indie and folk rock with shades of shoegaze and the occasional nod toward country—but what sets it apart from previous releases is the nature of the collaboration at its core. For the first time, Ryan Albert—who has operated as instrumentalist, producer, and engineer on past releases—joins forces with Bon as a songwriter, lending new depths to their musical partnership. It’s a fruitful collaboration that has led the duo to new and surprising chord choices and song structures, resulting in a collection of their biggest-sounding material to date.
