KOOKY 201EP
|
The debut 7" vinyl from Bloody/Bath "Idle Hands" is also the debut release by Kooky>Too, an offshoot of Kooky Records. This limited 7" is a peach -- a gloomy neu wave banger for our gloomy fin de siècle death-spiraling age. Sonically a bout of sleep paralysis, emotionally a midnight text from your favorite ex, Bloody/Bath are feverish, infectious and bewitching taking a post-punk passage that sounds distinctly their own. Catchy melodies dance throughout the tracks, disguising a heaviness, a desperation, drowning somewhere beneath the surface. Louder Than War describes the Bloody/Bath sound as "Stop-The-Clocks pop. Music to submerge yourself in. Wallow deep, then count your blessings." Summoned initially by Northampton singer-songwriter Kailan Price, but now a fully-fledged, five-piece band, interest has been soaring following their incendiary live sets invited to play for Slow Dance at the Brixton Windmill, and other shows in London, Bristol, and Bedford with Ritual Howls, Do Nothing, and Minor Conflict. Bloody/Bath create sparse expanses, concrete homogeny, and heavy atmospheres. Bruised and beaten down, a whole load of listeners can't get enough of Bloody/Bath.
