Album review
Will Wiesenfeld has announced his first Baths studio album in seven years. The Romaplasm follow-up is called Gut, and it’s set to land on February 21 via Basement’s Basement. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new song ‘Sea of Men’, alongside a video directed by Wiesenfeld. Check it out below and scroll down for the album art and tracklist.
“Gut is essentially me trying to make my feelings make sense by not initially psychoanalyzing them – by instead just having feelings said and put on the table,” Wiesenfeld said in a statement, continuing: “I think about men, and sex, quite literally all the time. To make a new album that felt like an actual honest effort meant exploring this fact further than I’ve ever been comfortable with, with no regard to personal embarrassment or relatability.”
“I’m sketching my strongest and most pervasive feelings out quickly and treating their roughness as gospel, then exploring them in greater detail with the added sheen of time and perspective,” he added. “I ended up not just writing about sex but also about personal shortcomings, dreamless living, harmful fantasies, and dissonant self-identities…things I also think about all the time.”
