Since then, Ray and Saxon have had their foot firmly on the gas, writing, producing, and releasing EP I and EP II. So far, they’ve amassed 900k+ streams, played across Europe & the UK and have gorgeously crafted their debut album to boot.

There is stark contrast between their early music and their upcoming debut album 'Lately, Love Is Dead'. There is a newfound weightiness behind the songwriting and an immediacy in the production. It sounds like the duo have jumped into a whole new sonic universe, and it's catchy as hell!

After releasing the first single, 'Adored', from their debut LP, Baby Smith marked a strong start to the campaign, earning support from BBC 6 Music with Deb Grant and Nathan Shepherd, Radio X's John Kennedy, and Triple J, with Home and Hosed presenter Anika Luna praising the duo as “Artists who blew me away”.

'Adored' found its place among several Spotify editorials, including the cover of Fresh Finds AU & NZ, as well as Indie Arrivals and Indie Brandneu.

Baby Smith followed up with 'All I Do'. The second single off the record blends psychedelia with melancholy, a Radiohead inspired piano-led tune anchored by an infectious chorus. So far the single has been championed by Spotify editors across the globe, featuring the song on 21 playlists including New Music Friday in 12 countries. The pair have continued to build momentum with 'All I Do' recieving further support from 6 Music, Triple J and Radio X among other international stations.

Accompanying 'All I Do' is an official music video shot across two continents in just four days. While travelling from Australia to Europe, the duo used a stopover in Tokyo to capture footage in true DIY-style, turning time on the road into part of the project’s visual identity.

They've made a statement of intent with their first two singles and now Baby Smith return with the title track of the record. 'Lately, Love Is Dead' is a single with existential lyricism and an elegantly crafted layered arrangement, showing an experimental side not yet seen from these Australian underdogs. This lush groover coincides with the announcement of the record and it shines as the gem of the album.

Baby Smith have had a busy start to the project which has seen the duo sell out their debut London, Berlin and Dublin headlines, play across eight countries, and support King Hannah, Sarah Klang, Cousin Kula and Lo Moon. Baby Smith are set to hit the road again in 2026 with a UK & EU tour in support of their debut album.

Baby Smith is a project bursting at the seams from it's eclectic references and inspirations. They are obsessed and incensed with music and are proving to have a limitless output as they begin their debut album campaign whilst also writing their follow up record behind the scenes.
