About the Album: Obsidian is the follow up to 2010’s Cerulean, which had long legs for Will Wiesenfeld. Baths retained its signature chillwave sound and is touring with the Postal Service and WHO? this summer to promote Obsidian. According to Pitchfork, “Wiesenfeld described Obsidian as darker, yet more pop and more hi-fi than his previous efforts. He also noted that he wrote the songs on the new album with the idea that they’d translate well to a full band live setting.”

Track Spotlight: “Miasma Sky” is somber but utterly listenable, perfect for a meditative walk or a lie in.
