The Baths Australian Tour 2014 has been announced with the cutting edge electronic music-maker heading Down Under this March.
Baths is the intricate electronic pop project of Los Angeles-area producer Will Wiesenfeld, also of [Post-Foetus] and Geotic, who will be playing dates in capital cities in a matter of months, off the back of his critically acclaimed 2013 release, Obsidian.
Growing up in California’s San Fernando Valley, Wiesenfeld began making music at an early age, with his parents enrolling him in music lessons at age four (at his insistence).
He began recording his own music in his early teens, but found his true inspiration after discovering Björk’s music. Wiesenfeld taught himself guitar, contra bass, and viola and developed a quirky, layered production style, mixing sounds like clicking pens and running water with electronics and live instruments.
His first project – which he began while still in his teens – was [Post-Foetus], but he soon began crafting ambient compositions under the name Geotic, and eventually added the Baths moniker to the fold.
Wiesenfeld was also invited by the like-minded producer Daddy Kev to play at the L.A. venue Low End Theory where he became a regular performer at the club.
Baths signed to Anticon Records in 2009, and the debut album Cerulean followed in 2010. Illness and Wiesenfeld’s wish to perform with a full band informed his second album, 2013’s Obsidian, a set of songs that was darker and more direct than his earlier music.
