Since their widely lauded debut album, The Future Is Our Way Out, Chicago-based 5 piece
Brigitte Calls Me Baby have brought a greater intensity of vision to their lavish breed of alt-rock,
arriving at a boldly singular sound that is both thrillingly new and immediately essential to the
modern rock landscape. In a major leap forward for the band, Brigitte Calls Me Baby’s
sophomore album Irreversible captures the energy, intrigue and grandeur of their live show, all
while pushing further into the exquisite pathos of their songwriting.
“Our first album taught me that you’ve got to reach as far down into your soul as possible and
be willing to show something real and raw to the world, and with this album that felt even
easier and more natural,” says Leavins, whose signature croon imbues every track on
Irreversible with a potent emotionality. “There was a time when I tried to bury the kind of
feelings we’re displaying on this record, but now I’m at the point where I don’t feel the need to
hold anything back.”
Produced by Yves Rothman and Lawrence Rothman (Blondshell, Yves Tumor), Irreversible came
to life in the midst of a relentless live schedule that’s included performing at leading festivals
like Lollapalooza, sharing bills with the likes of Morrissey & Muse, and headlining sold-out tours
across the U.S., U.K., and Europe. Recorded live at Lawrence’s the result is a majestic suite of
songs that burn bright, hit hard, and passionately celebrate the drama of being alive.
