Ray Sonder and Saxon Gable grew up in sleepy beach towns on Australia’s east coast. Their parents were hippies and rockers who spoon-fed them Nirvana and The Beatles. The pair moved to Berlin separately, where they met and soon married, spiritually united by their love for the whimsical, intimate, deeply melodic sounds of 1960s psychedelia and 1990s grunge. This led to the genesis of Baby Smith in 2023. Debut album ‘Lately, Love Is Dead’ is a whimsical collection of hypnotic odes to the fall of romance in an ever-polarising world.
