Madcap Music presents
Baths (Anticon/US) – New Zealand Tour 2014
Touring on the back of another critically acclaimed album release, ‘Obsidian’, Los Angeles based Baths returns to New
Zealand for exclusive new live shows in 2014. Madcap Music presents the Baths New Zealand Tour, with shows at Bodega in
Wellington on Friday 14 March, and at The Kings Arms in Auckland on Saturday 15 March.
Baths has quickly established himself as one of leading lights of his generation, combining the intricate rhythms of the
LA beat scene with indie sensibilities, creating music that inspires and surprises in equal doses. “The songs and lyrics
all came out of a pretty fucked and arduous process of trial and error,” Baths says, of ‘Obsidian’, and this passion
comes through in music of majestic power. He brings this same energy to his live performances, leaving a huge impression
on audiences during his previous tour in 2012. Influential blog, Popmatters, identified the confessional nature of
‘Obsidian’, suggesting, “It’s an album about the ominous quiet of memories existing only in the moment, and an attempt
to trace and destroy the ones that torture the mind”.
Inspired by many months sick in bed, unable to eat solids, and confronted by questions of his own existence, ‘Obsidian’
is understandably a dark record, with cutting lyrics, yet it is also enhanced by the warmth Baths brings to his music,
which translates easily to his brilliant live performances. Fans has been eagerly waiting for this announcement, and
Baths is set to thrill New Zealand audiences once gain in March 2014.
Tickets on sale Friday 22 November from www.undertheradar.co.nz, Rough Peel Music, Slow Boat Records in Wellington and Real Groovy in Auckland.
