BAY UNO to Release Debut Album 'Catalina,' 3/10
By: Danielle DeSisto Feb. 27, 2015
Bay Uno will self-release his debut LP, Catalina on March 10th, 2015, and it will be available on vinyl, CD and on Spotify and iTunes. Bay wrote the songs in his bedroom over the course of many years but rarely played them for anyone except close friends.
His friend Matt Whyte (Earl Greyhound) offered to record him in his home studio, and it soon turned into a full-length record, complete with a horn section in the living room. The songs on the record take place around different bodies of water, including the shores of Catalina off the coast of California, which Bay used to visit as a kid.
The small island provided a magical backdrop to his childhood, with creatures like roaming buffalo and bright orange fish that could be seen clearly from the dock. Catalina is also where Bay reportedly learned about kissing.
"Anyone that knows me knows that I am obsessed with bodies of water and I will swim at any chance," says Bay. "I will try to talk you into swimming with me, and you will say, 'No way, it's freezing.' Then I will do anything it takes to get you to follow me into the water."
