Babyccino Share Influences Behind Debut Album in frankie Playlist Feature

Melbourne/Naarm quartet Babyccino released their debut album Green Light Turned Red last month, and in a frankie magazine feature, band members Alannah Sawyer, Harry Green, Jezabel Furlong, and Cecilia Carrasco shared the songs they had on repeat during the album's creation. Sawyer cited PJ Harvey's 'Rid of Me' for its dynamic shifts, Laura Jean's 'So Happy' for its storytelling and saxophone that Babyccino mimicked, and Jessica Lea Mayfield's 'I Wanna Love You' for its minimal, punchy instrumentation. Furlong chose Wednesday's 'Maura' for its vocal and guitar mix, noting the band walked on stage to a Babyccino song in Melbourne, and Life Without Buildings' 'Juno' for its drum-driven chaos. Carrasco selected Anxious's 'In April' for its catchy melody and raw emotion, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis's 'Hand of God' for its heartbeat-like beat and strings, recalling a trance-like show at The Palais, and Pierce the Veil's 'Death of an Executioner' for its energy. Green highlighted Caroline No's 'Cowboy Boots' for Mick Turner's guitar work that informed his arrangements, and Minutemen's 'The Glory of Man' for D. Boon's precise punk playing. The feature appears in frankie issue 134, available at the frankie shop, via subscription, or at stockists.
