Baths continuing to build a bridge between Moz, the Low End Theory and Four Tet into one haunting graveyard garland. “Ocean Death” comes from his new Anticon EP of the same name. For my ferry tokens to slip onto corpse eyes, this is the best project he’s ever released. It’s sepulchral late night contemplate your […]

Chris Daly appreciates the visual metaphor of this album cover. I could give two pox what this year’s “official song of the summer” is.  The further you get past your teens, the less the term has any meaning. At this stage in the game, while some of my peers might be listening to “classic rock […]

Up until recently, 22 year-old Will Wiesenfeld had spent most of his life in Chatsworth and Woodland Hills, suburban communities about 30 minutes outside of Los Angeles, where he recorded music under the monikers Geotic and [Post-Foetus].

Along with Tobacco, Baths is one of the standard-bearers of the new Anticon, a label dedicated less to antagonizing rap reactionaries and more to releasing some of the most psychedelic beats on the planet. The amicable parting with Sole didn’t hurt matters — thereby disassociating themselves with being Linda Tripped. Baths quibbled with Pitchfork recently […]

With each passing month, the Low End Theory podcast covers grow darker and weirder. Barring a collage of Josef Mengele’s greatest hits, it will be tough to imagine how they’re going to top the latest episode — a Columbine still of a rampaging Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that seemingly matches the sinister beat music […]

Despite his ardor for Baths and claw foot bath tubs, Aaron Frank does not wear Bathing Apes. Now that we’re several months into the new year, those December resolutions are slipping and I’m again regularly making poor personal decisions. This time it wasn’t answering my ex’s belligerent 3 a.m. phone calls, but rather skipping Baths […]
