About the Artist
Baby Condor is the project of Dutch brothers Nolle and Beinte Groen, who write, arrange, and produce their own music. Their most recent release, a self-titled debut EP, includes six tracks built around analog recording, live instrumentation, and harmony-driven arrangements.
The brothers rely on performance rather than digital programming and treat the studio as part of the songwriting process. Influenced by classic singer-songwriter traditions and the Great American Songbook, the EP introduces their approach: melody-focused, narrative-driven songs shaped through hands-on production.

The EP
The opening track, Backcountry Towns, leans into a country twang and grounds itself. It holds you there and insists that “there’s a simple truth to life,” asking you to reconsider what actually matters. The song feels dirt-dusted and unpolished, rooted in open roads rather than spectacle.
Next, Seventeen, released as a single prior to the EP, steps into the uneasy stretch of growing up. It traces the move away from simpler days and confronts the quiet fear of losing yourself in the process. Meanwhile, Lifetime Come & Gone shifts direction. It glides into smooth jazz phrasing and moves up and down in melancholy. The song feels like watching the sun sink while driving away from the ocean, knowing you cannot circle back. At the same time, it refuses melodrama and keeps its restraint intact.
Then, Dreaming of the Day with its light rhythm sings the uncertainty of whether love will stay intact or quietly erode, asking, “will it ever change or remain the same or will I even know your name?” Here, doubt becomes the hook. Similarly, Saw You in a Song remembers someone who has passed and holds memory as both tender and unresolved. It does not search for closure. Instead, lingers in remembrance, and how a voice or melody can suddenly make someone feel present again, if only for a moment.

Lastly, Silver Stereo sounds like a song you would actually play on a stereo. It drips with a vintage pop sound and celebrates music and art as something tactile and human, while quietly critiquing how easily it becomes commodified. Inspired by their father’s vintage amplifier, it ends the EP on a note that looks backward and forward at once, honoring where sound begins, and questioning what it becomes.
Finally, Baby Condor moves through memory and how it shapes identity, love, and how change unsettles it, through grief and even the hope of an afterlife—tying it all together with music that holds these emotions as they are, unframed.
