Jul 16, 2018 By Christopher Roberts The Love Language

The Love Language (aka Stuart McLamb) is releasing a new album, Baby Grand, on August 3 via Merge. It’s his first in five years and previously he shared three songs from it: “Castle in the Sky” (which was our #1 Song of the Week), “Southern Doldrums,” and “New Amsterdam” (which also made our Songs of the Week list). Now he has shared perhaps the best song yet from Baby Grand, the catchy “Juiceboxx.” He has also announced a competition where you can remix the song. Check out the song and competition details below.

If you want to remix “Juiceboxx,” you can download the stems here. Then you need to email your remix to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with “Juiceboxx” in the subject. The deadline is August 7. McLamb will pick his favorite and then the winning remix will be featured on Merge’s official Soundcloud page. The winner will also receive the following: “a test pressing of Baby Grand, a copy of Ruby Red, that album’s Black Mtn Demos on cassette, and a bona fide Merge tote!”

Baby Grand is The Love Language’s fourth album, McLamb’s first since 2013’s Ruby Red. The album was begun in a Virginia hammock factory, but was finished after McLamb moved across country to California.

Of the album and “Castle in the Sky,” McLamb said in a previous press release: “It was something just about being in a new city, and a new light, and reopening the sessions, and this demo that I thought was a throwaway, suddenly I’m really feeling it….”
