Editor�s Info:
Critics Pass Away is Baby Dayliner's sophomore album. Even more successfully than his debut, it fulfilled the promise of Baby Dayliner's kaleidoscopic worldview which equally embraces sounds from pop, rock, dance, and hip-hop music, a sound articulated by Britain's Uncut Magazine as "a romo romp through a New York ghost world that is neither the drainpipe-and-denim sweatpit of CBGBs nor the mirrorball glitz of Studio 54 but somewhere in between."
A long-time live favorite for some of NYC's best artists from a dizzying array of different scenes, this album inspired equal praise from icons of independent rock and underground hip-hop. Guest performers include The Giraffes' guitarist Damien Paris and actor/musician Adrian Grenier (Entourage; The Honey Brothers), who drums on the song "Silent Places," and appears in the accompanying video.
KUDOS FROM OTHER MUSICIANS
Aesop Rock, MC: The new Baby Dayliner album is the first LP in a long time that I can listen to front-to-back with no complaints and no fast-forwarding. No, really. This is the kind of record I wanna plagiarize. I have yet to find someone who doesn't love it.
Matt Berninger, singer, The National: Baby Dayliner is a rare fearless original. This brainy record is jammed full of heart and moxie. It's a dance party for sexy intellects.

Bellowing like David Bowie doing his best Sinatra, Marunas' croon is a showstopping force that ties together the song's bouncy piano, frolicking horns, and boom-bap beat. It's like modern musical theater with a swinging disco bent.
