LISTENING: Bathe - The Silence


Time for some dreampop in the form of The Silence from Bathe - a new track available from Bandcamp, Spotify etc.

Bathe is singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Bailey Crone. Bailey plays everything on the song from drums, guitar, bass, to vocals. The Silence is her debut single and lyrically it is about the feeling of being alone and how it relates to her past history with panic attacks and grieving the loss of friends and loved ones. Music boffins should be pleased to know that it is written in a mixolydian key, the song's mood is supposed to be neither happy nor sad.

One aspect that amused us is that Bathe aims to create songs you can "lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling to" - something we enjoy doing enormously, as our mansion ceilings are rather grand.

The Silence will appear on Bathe's debut LP titled Last Looks, due for release in 2020.
