Rockabye Baby Silverchair Lullabies Sooth Little Rockers, 6.18

Why do Silverchair songs make great lullabies? Maybe it’s because the angsty Australians were nearly babies themselves when they entered the rock world at the tender age of 15 years old, scoring a No. 1 hit with “Tomorrow.” Now the acclaimed series Rockabye Baby is giving the band the sleepytime treatment with its latest tribute, ‘Lullaby Renditions of Silverchair' (6.18, Rockabye Baby Music).

With soothing instrumental renditions of hits like “Tomorrow,” “Straight Lines,” “Ana’s Song (Open Fire),” “Pure Massacre” and (fittingly) “If You Keep Losing Sleep,” Rockabye Baby interprets Silverchair’s seminal alt-rock through dulcet xylophone, bells and Mellotrons. Daniel Johns’ sinuous vocals and crunchy guitars are reworked as tender melodies that float over Rockabye’s restful rhythm section. There’s even Silverchair-themed kids’ games for liner notes and a recipe for “Mango Massacre” baby food.

Making rock music baby-friendly and kids' music adult-friendly, Rockabye Baby has given its lullaby treatment to the work of more than 50 artists including U2, Coldplay, Prince, Foo Fighters, The Smiths and Depeche Mode. The series has sold more than a million albums, has been praised by outlets including People, Spin and NME, and counts among its avowed fans Elton John, Kate Hudson, Victoria Beckham and Ellen DeGeneres, who says the series “puts [kids] to sleep with cool music that you’ll want to hear as well.” 

All Rockabye Baby releases are available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.
