On his sophomore album as Baths, Will Wiesenfeld fully shed of his sonic influences with a staggering work of graveyard beauty. Contrasts to the other artists became null. Giving it a 8. 6 Best New Music, Pitchfork hailed it as a subversive work that gets uncomfortably close to pop, confronting closed minds with what they dont want to believe. Always a gifted musician, Baths became a fully conceived artist: a songwriter of uncommon. Album 2014 5 Songs. More By Baths. See Death. Since Baths' excellent 2013 album Obsidian was almost frighteningly intense and confessional, it's not surprising that Will Wiesenfeld lightens up a little on the Ocean Death EP. These songs aren't exactly lighthearted - though touches of mordant wit surface here and there - but they echo Obsidian's concerns with slightly different perspectives.

This EP is, as described in the Anticon press release, a companion piece-the Dia De Los Muertos to Obsidians Halloween both records traverse similar terrain: morbid lyricism, direct vocal melodies, a felicity in subsuming electronic experiments into pop songs. Its about death, apathy, and loneliness. It sounds like a final love letter to a chapter of life that has already ended-and maybe it has. Ocean Death Q&A. Producers Baths. Ocean Death.
