I never am one to stay too on top of music trends but somehow I got lucky this time. I first began listening to Will Wiesenfeld’s first project [postfoetus] sometime in December and then heard that Wiesenfeld had signed to anticon. records. I was super ecstatic because I love all of anticon.’s current line up Why? being my favorite band, Josiah Wolf’s debut being probably one of the best “folk-pop” album’s I’ve every heard, and Doseone/Themselves being the most creative and innovative rappers in the business.
So naturally I began listening to baths and immediately fell in love. I somehow missed his self-titled and only had three songs playing on repeat for about five hours one day before i realized how much of an idiot I was and got the album.
Some people are classifying his music as part of the burgeoning(declining?) chillwave movement. And while it may be deserved, baths music is also heavily influenced by the emerging beat music movement stemming from his contact and recent residency with LA’s Low End Theory nightclub.
Just check out these two songs neither of which has been featured on an album
First up is Stupor probably my favorite of Wiesenfeld’s songs. And it was made on a whim especially for fans!
On baths Facebook Wiesenfeld posted this spacey Mass Effect inspired song:
Enjoy and make sure you pick up Cerulean from anticon. on July 6th!
