Baby Boys return today with a new music video for "Wannabe," taken from the I'm SetEP. The video was directed by Ethan Nelson, who helmed the "Kinky Toe" music video as well. It features hip hop dancer Rachel Wilson, and was shot on location in Holy Land USA up in Waterbury, CT.

Baby Boys is comprised of Minneapolis musician and artist Caleb Hinz (of Happy Children), alongside Hippo Campus co-founders Jake Luppen and Nathan Stocker, the band is the result of friends coming together in the name of music and the freedom that comes with it. "I'm Set is what happens when the focus turns away from charts and radio play, and instead returns to the pure bliss of creative fulfillment, " says Atwood Magazine in an early review of the EP.

NPR's The Current also write "Here's a cool new band for you: Baby Boys... the trio sought a low-pressure environment and the freedom to have fun." Paste reviewed "Kinky Toe" as part of their Daily Dose feature and wrote: "The song opens on a Dirty Projectors-esque wavelength, all glitchy samples and hushed, feathery vocals until it blows wide open a minute in, a cascading acoustic guitar riff and reverberant beat casting the track in a downright radiant glow. "Kinky Toe" stuffs a fistful of ideas into its sub-three-minute runtime, refusing to walk any kind of line, euphoric and unexpected all the way through."Atwood Magazine reviewed the EP raving "Kinky Toe,' the endearingly peculiar debut single from Baby Boys' forthcoming EP, is a prime example of the freedom that resulted from many late nights of unfettered collaboration (and not to mention self-production) and a mantra of "just because." Eerie, deep vocals drive the tune over the juxtaposed guitar and simple electronic beat, where Luppen and Hinz alternate the lead. A fluttering acoustic guitar ditty leads out the song, drawing a cliff-hanging question mark as to where the rest of Baby Boys' music will take listeners."
