Bath White

Description

This LA-based power trio formed in 2003 by Kristin Hersh and Bernard Georges of Throwing Muses (with Rob Ahlers on drums), was named after the lowest note audible to human ears. The band was intended as an outlet for the noise/math rock pieces that didnt fit the aesthetic of Throwing Muses or Kristin Hershs solo work. Their most successful and influential release, 2009s Power + Light, is thirty minutes of non-stop music, a barrage of free-form sound that found the band challenging its own complex song structure. Drowned in Sound wrote, Kristin Hersh has flared back to ravenous, inferno intensity with the excoriating Power + Light, which feels neither selfindulgent nor like many tracks cobbled together, but bruisingly visceral. This years Bath White is their sixth release. Again, theyve chosen to work with Los Angeles producer Mudrock, best known for his work with Godsmack. As Mudrock states, These are the best musicians Ive ever worked with, easily the most faciletheyre pros and theyre good people. 50FootWave is why I do what I do.
