Philadelphia, July 17, 2012 — Baroness’s highly-anticipated album, Yellow & Green, is available today.

The band, who recently graced covers of both Decibel and Hails & Horns Magazines, have earned near perfect reviews for the expansive set with Spin describing the release as “alternative rock’s brawniest soul-purge” and adding that “beastly event-records like this only come once in a full moon.”  Alternative Press awarded Yellow & Green four stars, NPR said the album offers “an embarrassment of melodic and riff-based riches,” Metal Sucks said this is “Baroness’ crossover masterpiece” and  the BBC said this is “a beautiful next step in the ongoing saga of Baroness.”

Yellow & Green was recorded in late 2011 at studios in New Jersey and Dallas with the band reuniting with co-producer John Congleton (Explosions in the Sky, St. Vincent, Xiu Xiu) for the 18-track collection.   A series of behind-the-scenes clips chronicling the recording process have been released in the weeks leading up to today’s release and can be viewed on the band’s YouTube page (www.youtube.com/baronessmusic).

Yellow & Green is now streaming in its entirety on NPR (http://www.npr.org/2012/07/08/156292608/first-listen-baroness-yellow-and-green), Spin (http://www.spin.com/articles/baroness-yellow-green-hear-metal-album-year), Exclaim (http://exclaim.ca/MusicVideo/ClickHear/baroness-yellow_green_album_stream) and Paste (http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/av/2012/07/album-stream-baroness—yellow-green.html).
