Babelshack is a New Mexico-based band making visceral, melodic rock that teeters on the edge—lush, explosive, and occasionally psychotic. Originally formed in the early 2000s, the group built a local following on the strength of its immersive sound, emotionally raw performances, and resonant lyrics.

After a long hiatus—during which frontman Barnaby Hazen wrote books, taught music, and performed as a freelance bassist and guitarist—the band returns with new material forged from years of reflection and experience.

Their newest release, "Songs for K." is now available on cassette and download.
