If reflection had a frequency, The Barons would have tuned into it on Spider Song. The Richmond, VA alt-rock band unveils their latest single a haunting, guitar-driven meditation on technology, disconnection, and the search for meaning in a hyper-digital age. The track’s subdued intensity mirrors the weight of its message—somber but alive, echoing the unease of constant connection. It’s the final pulse before the arrival of Le Château, the group’s raw yet refined debut album. Frontman Peyton Alley shares:
I often feel so pulled away from observing how the tiniest things in the natural world work by keeping up with tech and current societal standards. I wanted this song to be a moment to reflect on what we value as important and sustainable.
Alt-rock introspection meets analog warmth ahead of their debut album, "Le Château." With "Le Château," The Barons process the contradictions of modern living with self-awareness and wit, exploring themes of human connection, aging, and acceptance over ten concise, analog-warm tracks produced by Jacob Sommerio in their hometown of Richmond. Known for their raucous live performances and kinetic chemistry, The Barons—Peyton Alley, Josiah Ragland, Kirtland Gray, Mathes Glymph, and Jack Peacock are breaking into a darker groove, hinting at the range and energy of the band’s debut. "Le Château" arrives November 7 and is available for pre-save now. Until then follow The Barons on Instagram, YouTube, Bandcamp, and Facebook.
