Premiered by Beats 1 & Vice Noisey, Baby In Vain's "The Urge" opens with jagged synths. It's a dangerous and seductive new track showing another side to the heavy-hitting Danish trio. The track is off their debut EP For The Kids coming out April 29th (vinyl out June 10th) via Partisan Records.  

According to guitarist and vocalist Andrea Thuesen, the track was initially inspired by a documentary she watched in which serial killers described their bloodlust and urge to kill. The song quickly morphed, as Andrea compared this feeling to the urge that many monogamous couples feel to explore other sexual relationships outside their own, and how infidelity, to some people, can be almost as unforgivable an act as murder. 

Of the track, Andrea says:
"'The Urge" wasn't always the smash hit it is today. It actually started out as being kind of a simple, classic, riff based rock. Though we all liked the song, it didn't really seem to reach its full potential, and we couldn't quite figure out what to do about it. Then our producer, Mads Bergland, did something completely mental. He replaced all of the rhythm guitar, with a synth bass. The first time we listened to it we were in shock. It was so unlike anything we had ever done musically. But then it just started to make sense, and now none of us can even remember the original idea. It was exactly what needed to be done to the song!" 

Baby In Vain recently unveiled the darkly twisted video for "Martha's View" as well as three shows with The Kills and a string of EU tour dates.
