Red Stamp’s Bilingual Debut “Dancing With My Baby” Is a Wes Anderson-Worthy Folk Samba

“Dancing With My Baby” is the inaugural, bilingual single from Catalunya, Spain-based band Red Stamp. This is the newly minted project of Aoife Nessa Frances, Núria Graham, and Brendan Doherty, who’s debut song is a laid-back indie folk samba that feels like the soundtrack to a care-free and somewhat gawky slow dance scene in a Wes Anderson-style indie film.

I first heard Red Stamp at the 2025 Audiofemme SXSW showcase at the Central Presbyterian Church of Austin, TX this past March. This atypical indie show setting proved to be a sonically sound pairing and perfect acoustic environment for the trio’s tender melodies and gentle approach to poppy folk rock tunes. With the symmetry of church pews, dark wooden paneling, and stained glass depicting biblical scenes, it was a spiritual experience at many levels. The quaint and quirky locale would also be right at home in a movie by the aforementioned director. At that show, the band announced they would soon be releasing their first ever single.

Sure enough, they have delivered with “Dancing With My Baby”, whose breezy interlocking harmonic verse vocals are delivered in Spanish before switching to English on the chorus and profoundly catchy refrain “dancing with my baby, my baby’s dancing with me”. A tropical sounding drum machine loop and accenting acoustic guitar strums serve as the perfect palette for the soft vocal duo to blend together to create a rich colorful hue of vocal textures. A minimalist springy two-note guitar solo follows up the first chorus and brings us to another verse.The second chorus sees the addition of some siren-like theremin tones for added interest.

The gyrational inertia of the song is intimate and cozy, perfectly capturing that mood of slow dancing in the kitchen with a lover while cooking dinner. It's a playful and light track that unlike so many modern movie franchises, has us looking forward to the sequel from the dually female-fronted, Red Stamp.
