Big Dumb Baby Invites You Into the Amusing World of 'Terrible Twos' "Have more fun!" Ashley Mayorquin exclaims as a way of introducing PAPER to the thesis of her newest project, Terrible Twos. Known to the Brooklyn music scene as Big Dumb Baby, the Nashville-born actor turned singer-songwriter, released her second EP today, a playful love letter to leaning into your silly side. The unhurried, thumping bass and glib lyrics that punctuate lead track "Jenny's Place" bring you into the amusing world of Big Dumb Baby. The alt-rock track offers a teasing but cheerful insight into the life of a Brooklyn 20-something — a wonderland of many, many roommates, city mice and dirty dishes.Describing her sound as "Shania Twain meets Pavement," the young artist infuses downtown indie-rock with a unique sunny Southern charm, proposing a distinctive and unfussy songwriting style that's reminiscent of Wet Leg and Soccer Mommy, with a cheerful Nashville twist.For the release of her fun-filled EP Terrible Twos, PAPER sat down with Big Dumb Baby for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the project and how the Brooklyn music scene influenced her Southern sound. Tell me about your stage name.Initially, Big Dumb Baby was only going to be the title of my first EP, but I changed my artist name to it shortly after I released it. I love to laugh and have fun and be silly; the name Big Dumb Baby encapsulates this for me. The project and lyrics are written from my own personal experience, but it’s fun to tap into a persona just a little bit.What does this project mean to you?Coming from an acting background, I’ve always enjoyed the act of storytelling. However, for me, music is a much more accessible form of self-expression. Big Dumb Baby has been a way to share my experiences and connect with a wide range of people. Nothing makes me happier than hearing about how people relate to my songs.Is there a “thesis” to Terrible Twos?Have more fun! The first EP was a product of a much darker point in my life. However, these last few years have been really, really joyful. Terrible Twos is an expression of that.Terrible Twos is your second EP. What did you bring into this process that you learned from the experience of making your first EP?Oof, how to be direct. During my first EP, I was surrounded by a bunch of studied musicians and felt I lacked the vocabulary to communicate what I was hearing for my songs. Through playing shows and taking on the role of band leader, I’ve gotten more confidence around verbally formulating how I’d like things to sound, and in turn, I’ve become more hands-on in the production process.How has your sound evolved from the start of Big Dumb Baby?If you listen to my first EP, there's a lot of genre flipping. I was still figuring out how to blend my musical tastes in a way that was sonically cohesive. While all still distinct, the songs on Terrible Twos are more blended with one another. I think each song sounds like a Big Dumb Baby song, if that makes sense. I’ve tapped further into my own songwriting style, and I’m continuing to refine this in the new songs I’m writing, which is exciting!You describe your sound as “Shania Twain meets Pavement.” Can you tell me a little about what that means? Indie-rock is such a vague descriptor that can mean so many things, so I dislike referring to Big Dumb Baby solely as “indie-rock." If you’ve listened to my music, there’s no denying I’m very influenced by '90s indie rock projects like Pavement and Liz Phair, but underneath that, there are elements of pop and country (the Shania part). I’m from Nashville, Tennessee and grew up listening to pop-country radio every day on my way to school. While I don’t strive for this sound, I think it subconsciously seeps into my music and I’m totally okay with it.How does the Brooklyn music community compare to your experience in Nashville?The main difference is there is simply more of a variety of art being made in New York. Nashville is an incredible city for music, but my community here is much more expansive. My community here is not only made up of musicians but designers, writers, photographers, etc.How does the Brooklyn scene influence your music?The amount of talent here is mind-boggling. There are too many people to list, but for example: Shallowhalo, Precious Human, Grumpy and May Rio — not only insane writers, but they’ve all tapped into a sound that is so distinct to them. Everyone is doing their own thing and being really good at it. It’s pushed me to continue to explore and expand on what makes Big Dumb Baby different. I used to shy away from the theatricality of my writing because I didn’t want to be pigeonholed as the ex-theatre girlie, but being surrounded by artists who are unapologetic has given me more confidence to do the same.What artists are you really digging right now?Definitely all of the artists in my circle that already I’ve mentioned. In addition, my friends Carol (another NYC legend), Brennan Wedl and I.R. Michael have all written some of my favorite songs ever. Outside of that, I’ve been on an '80s deep dive. I can't stop listening to the albums Skylarking by XTC and Hats by The Blue Nile. Björk, Ted Lucas, J.J. Cale and Caetano Veloso are artists that also stay in rotation.What do you want people to know about you?I’ve been learning how to DJ with 19 friends in a rigorous training program we call “DJ Academy." Post-EP release, I’ll have more time on my hands, so someone should book DJ Academy for a weekly residency or something.Photography by Meghan Marin https://www.papermag.com/big-dumb-baby-terrible-twos-2659737896.html

Join us in welcoming into the world Temporary State University, a new nonprofit organization dedicated to training the next generation of New Yorkers how to throw their own shows in a way that is fun, fair, and safe! We are celebrating our launch with a 15 act festival featuring some of New York's best artists, as well as three previews of our free workshop courses starting this Fall.
All of this is going down Saturday June 29th at Party Connection on Woodward Ave in Ridgewood btwn Gates and Palmetto. Come and stop by anytime from noon to midnight because we will be there all day, and nobody is turned away due to lack of funds! This is the climax of our inaugural fundraising drive lasting the month of June, so instead of selling tickets we are inviting anyone who wants to come on over and pay what you can. Sign-up for a monthly membership too! Mostly, we want to greet our neighbors and show them what we can do together.
12:00pm - gabbin' and sayin' hi 1:00pm - May Rio (solo) 1:30pm - Precious Human 2:00pm - WORKSHOP PREVIEW 3:00pm - Sex Week 3:30pm - Crosslegged 4:00pm - Told Slant 4:30pm - Franz Charcoal (look into it) 5:00pm - WORKSHOP PREVIEW 6:00pm - Star’s Revenge 6:30pm - Anna Altman 7:00pm - WORKSHOP PREVIEW 8:00pm - Hiding Places 8:30pm - Mallory Hawk 9:00pm - Sister. 9:30pm - Dirt Buyer (solo) 10:00pm - Bloomsday 10:30pm - Nara’s Room 11:00pm - Shallowhalo djs *please note that the order of the schedule is subject to minor changes
M to Forest Ave, L to Myrtle-Wyckoff. Please be aware this is a residential street and we need to be respectful of everyone's home.
*~*WHO IS TEMPORARY STATE AND WHAT DO WE DO*~* Temporary State University is a non-profit training organization dedicated to educating New Yorkers on how to throw shows in a way that is fun, fair, and safe. We achieve this by publishing 3 guidebooks with 3 corresponding workshops about conceiving of, preparing for, and successfully running your own event. Those who complete all three workshops get to join a collective of people with access to the production equipment TSU rents at no-cost for collective members, as well as one-on-one guidance from a selection of different mentors. Collective membership is limited to a maximum of two years.
Registration for our Fall workshops along with the first editions of guidebooks goes live later this Summer, but if you want to be first notified about sign-ups you can pre-register using this form.
*~*OUR SUMMER 2024 FUNDRAISING DRIVE*~* This is our first fundraiser, and all net proceeds from this event will be going into our annual budget with the goal of getting to $50,000 in total donations as well as membership pledges. If you would like to give a one-time donation and sign-up for a recurring membership click “Buy Suggested Donation Ticket” at the top righthand corner of our event page, and it will walk you through the process. Please note that this is NOT a ticketed event, so donations do not guarantee entry in the case that we hit capacity. But we appreciate the support anyway. :-)
You can read all about how this money is going to be spent here.
*~*WAYS TO SUPPORT AND HELP*~* So first and most importantly, the best thing you can do to help is show up and be excited. Next (obviously) is donate money and sign-up for a membership. However! There are many ways to help! Here are just a few…
pre-register for the workshops - We need to get a sense of demand for how many people are interested in our programming as that is what will determine the size of the venue we host them in and the frequency in which we plan them. Pre-registering for the workshops is a great way for us to get a sense of where the first round of workshops should be taking place! Here is the link one more time.
donate sound equipment - This applies to new or used equipment, but preferably not totally broken! We are in search of someone who can help with massive speaker renovation, but for now if you have something that we can feasibly repair and work with please contact [email protected].
donate storage or office space - We are in search of a secure and climate controlled room with 24 hour access that we can bring our production equipment to late at night after shows and do maintenance work during the day. If you have access to a place like this please contact [email protected].
venues to host our workshops - Do you have access to a room that is public and can comfortably fit around 2 dozen people? Please contact [email protected].
venues to host a fundraiser - Do you have access to a room that can safely hold 250 people or more? Please contact [email protected]
professional insurance brokering services - FR this is the hardest thing to figure out. Insurance brokers seemingly have no context for what it is we are trying to do, and all of their quotes are insanely different. It has left us feeling like we might not even been getting the right policy? Can you please help us? Please? Contact [email protected].

Ashley Mayorquin 這位出生於田納西州的演員兼創作歌手,在布魯克林音樂界以 Big Dumb Baby 的名字,在今天發布了她的第二張 EP - Terrible Twos,這是一封富有玩味的情書,鼓勵人們探尋他們愚蠢的一面。
悠閒而沉重的低音和輕率的歌詞貫穿主打歌 “Jenny's Place”,將人帶入 Big Dumb Baby 的有趣世界。這首另類搖滾曲目,對布魯克林20多歲年輕人生活的嘲弄。
Big Dumb Baby 將她的聲音描述為 “Shania Twain meets Pavement”,將市中心的獨立搖滾、與獨特的陽光、南方魅力融合在一起,提出了一種獨特而不矯飾的歌曲創作風格,讓人想起 Wet Leg 和 Soccer Mommy,再加上愉快的 Nashville (註1) 風格。
youtube
註1 : Nashville 是美國田納西州的首府,位於該州中部。它被稱為 “音樂之城”,因為許多著名的音樂家和音樂製作人都在這裡開始了他們的職業生涯。 Nashville 也是世界上最大的音樂城市之一,有許多音樂表演場所和音樂錄音室。
起初 Big Dumb Baby 這只是 Ashley Mayorquin 的第一張EP的標題,但她在發行後不久,就將其改為自己的藝名。她喜歡笑、喜歡玩樂,喜歡表現出自己幼稚的一面,而 Big Dumb Baby 這個名字恰好體現了這一點。她的作品和歌詞,都是從她個人的經驗出發,有時候她為了有趣,而扮演另一個角色。對她來說,這個製作意味著什麼呢?作為一個從演藝背景走來的人,她一直都喜歡講故事,但是對她來說,音樂是更容易自我表達的方式。Big Dumb Baby 以音樂分享生活經驗,與廣泛的聽眾連結一起,她最開心的事情,就是聽到人們如何與她的歌曲產生共鳴。
Big Dumb Baby 的第一張 EP 是她生命中黑暗時期的產物。 然而,最近幾年她變得非常非常快樂。 第二張 EP - Terrible Twos 就是這種表達方式。她從製作第一張 EP 的經歷中學到了,在製作中更加親力親為,而且對口頭表達自己想要的聲音更有信心。在 Big Dumb Baby 的第一張 EP 中,她被一群經驗的音樂家包圍著,令她學得自己在歌曲,缺乏詞彙傳達。
Big Dumb Baby 的聲音不斷地演變,在第一張 EP 中,她嘗試以不同方式去演譯,但她仍在想辦法用一種聲音,以凝聚力的方式融合自身的音樂品味。 在第二張 EP 中的歌曲更加相互融合。 而每首歌聽起來都像一首 Big Dumb Baby 歌曲,她進一步挖掘了自己的歌曲創作風格,並在自我創作的新歌中,繼續完善這一點。
Big Dumb Baby 將自己的聲音描述為“Shania Twain meets Pavement”,因為她認為 Indie-rock 是一個非常模糊的符號,是可以表示很多的東西,所以她不喜歡將 Big Dumb Baby 僅僅稱為“indie-rock”,不可否認,她深受 90 年代的獨立搖滾所影響,如 Pavement 和 Liz Phair,來自田納西州納什維爾的 Big Dumb Baby,從小到大每天在上學的路上,都聽著流行鄉村電台,雖然她不曾追求這種聲音,但它會潛意識地滲透到 Big Dumb Baby 的的音樂之中。
在討論到 Big Dumb Baby 在布魯克林音樂社區和納什維爾的經歷,是如何相比時,她認為主要區別在於紐約創作藝術品種類更多,然而納什維爾是一座不可思議的音樂之城,而她所在的社區更為廣闊,那裡不僅由音樂人組成,還包括設計師、作家、攝影師等等。在進一步論及布魯克林的當地的文化,是如何影響 Big Dumb Baby 的音樂?
她覺得布魯克林的人才數量令人難以置信,有太多人無法一一列舉,但例如:Shallowhalo、Precious Human、Grumpy 和 May Rio,這些不僅是瘋狂的創作藝人,而且他們都利用了,一種對他們來說是如此獨特的聲音,每個人都在做自己的事情,並且非常擅長,它促使 Big Dumb Baby 繼續探索和擴展其不同之處。
令到 Big Dumb Baby 欣賞的藝人, Carol、Brennan Wedl 和 I.R. Michael,他們都寫過不少優秀的歌曲,
除此之外,她一直在進行 80 年代的深入研究,與此同時,她一直在聽 XTC 的 Skylarking 專輯和 Blue Nile 的 Hats 專輯,Björk, Ted Lucas, J.J. Cale 和 Caetano Veloso 都是她瘋狂愛上的藝人。

Shallowhalo’s 'Renaissance Affair' Is One for the Ages Shallowhalo is in their renaissance era. On their single “Renaissance Affair,” released today, the Brit-pop duo sport sunglasses and powdered wigs as they sing along to playful '80s pop synth — okay, there are many eras at play there. Shallowhalo’s revival is as bright-eyed and full-cheeked as a Sistine Chapel cherub. Their latest single, premiering today on PAPER, falls at the heels of the single “Crystal Ball,” the first off of their upcoming album Dinosaur City. The duo called across history to deliver their sophomore album. In “Renaissance Affair," French aristocracy meets camcorder meets karaoke as Shallowhalo's Allyson Camitta and May Rio, who provided backing vocals for the single, go gallivanting across New York City streets, exploring the lore and LARPing of New York nightlife. The visual was filmed by nightlife documentarian Jackie Young.Related | May Rio Trolls Herself in 'Need You Like'“I incorporated footage from the times over the last few months I’ve seen Allyson and May play around New York,” said Young. “Each time, I’ve re-recorded over existing footage on the same worn-down Mini DV Tape, creating an analog glitching collage which felt fitting for how the New York music scene can feel like a fast-paced blur.”By re-inventing history, the music video allows its protagonists to reinvent themselves. Occupying an ambiguous space between life and play, “Renaissance Affair” encourages listeners to live their life like make-believe. Reminiscent of childhood costumes and characters, Camitta and Rio live out their fantasies and find themselves in the process. "'Renaissance Affair' was written over this past summer," Camitta recalls. "I was going out regularly to a friend’s weekly DJ gig at Home Sweet Home in the Lower East Side and then took a picturesque trip upstate to the Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, New York where we dressed up in medieval outfits and took a bunch of mushrooms. The song is a mashup of the pageantry and escapism of dressing up and going out in the city — the fantasy of it all.”The track itself blends Italo Disco, tape echoes, flute and an '80s-ready baseline with additional vocals from Rio — wrapping a host of voices, styles and sounds up into one repeat-worthy beat.Below, watch the PAPER premiere of Shallowhalo's "Renaissance Affair."Photography: Marcus MaddoxStyling: Kailee X https://www.papermag.com/shallowhalo-renaissance-affair-2659511552.html
