Two weeks ago, Baroness unleashed their crossover masterpiece, Yellow & Green, on the world. The double album landed at No. 30 on the Billboard charts upon its release, making it the highest debut of the band's career.
Today, we're excited to be premiering an exclusive video that takes you into the studio and on the road with Baroness, to give you even more insight into the making of their epic new album.

It seems totally counter-intuitive to think otherwise."
