Bath White 04:19
and on the way down wait it out and on the sand: rotten apples and on the way down wait it out and what you had: only shadows i wasn’t brutal i wasn’t anything at all consensus or confession i don’t recognize depression and all day you flaunt your addictions, buddy as your crowd gathers around no matter who you are no matter what you wanted drugstore glare lights your path damp memories fill your head bath white glare lights your path damp memories still your hand and all night you court your attraction to me like a surfer high on the ground no matter who you are no matter what you wanted and on the way down wait it out and on the sand was rotten apples and on the way down wait it out and what you caught was only shadows

chalk it up to circumstance you watch the tide roll back it’s all over you it’s all over red and happy decent deceit bit through the gloom it’s all over you it’s all over it’s riveting gone and all you got two black eyes behind sunglasses me and the wet dogs waiting raining formaldehyde blooms all over you it’s all over trees bend down to meet you drip through flowers and down your neck can’t take another step not another step i’m balancing on your pretty mess two black eyes behind sunglasses tape it all back up you promise god’s not a dick? new orleans is on fire with blue flames and LA flowers you promise god’s not a dick?

Human 02:41
“nah, just hungry i guess i’ll sleep in the attic” bone-broke slow or whipped cold i live clean breathtaking you took my breath away breath by breath you taught me how to breathe i guess i’ll crash in the attic palms up i love clean big star in the dark note to self: it’s your fault back slowly out the doorway you can’t win i never wanted that twisted demon who wears me down and winds me up blinds me to heaven i wanted i wanted that twisted human who stares me down and flies me up flies me to heaven the crime of it the punishment the crime of it the punishment passed out in passed out in the hospital where where else could i where else could i go? and you were mine you were my you were my only human and you you were you were my you were my only human twice i catch your eyes’ rainbows oil slick tears

Ratted Out 02:49
our clothes were dirty but you made a body’s mouth water everybody lies but it was true this time sore and sweating we were staring out a blue window everybody lies but it was you this time summer lightning in the night you’d climb anything except for your bad luck i would pray for your cold touch ratted out we rotted out from the inside out everybody lies but it was useless this time

blow out the candle so he can’t see in the window smoke fills the tiny room sweat home high we can fool around fight off the smell of doom you smell like cold and dry leaves leaving is hardest on hookworm sidewalks just snow static on the crap tv fluorescent exposure a gold grin told her christ’s not saving the weak i wanna go faster i wanna go farther from home dang yuppies ate my town where i fed and slept you paced the foamy sand crawled in the backseat us still broke unmoved by unlived futures the streets run with soap the sky angry dang flag’s at quarter mast even though i fed and slept you paced the foamy sand crawled in the backseat our friends all broke unmoved by unspent youth you still damp with foam and hungry christ on a cracker we live on these creamers who knew church’d claim us too? sweat home high we can fool around fight off the smell of doom i wanna go faster i wanna go farther from home
6.
Sun Salute 02:11
we play in attics kicked out of living spaces and the basement heat-seeking up in the trees like that plain water for the man who believes that he can fly you wrote a pathetic play and acted it all out one day so tell me how you’re heat-seeking and if you can do the meadow your own twisted sun salute a thirsty man in the meadow the air is burnt the ground is blue sun and coffee van in the parking lot magic in your back pocket the gods of holiday inn smiling down you never win and never want for nothing and if you can do the meadow your own shiftless sun salute a thirsty man in the meadow the air is burnt the ground is blue

Fan Review:
I love the way Bath White meanders through the brain as you listen to it; the visceral guitars shimmer at the epicentre, erupting and melting towards collapse only to revive again, as porpoises and whales sometimes do when they flume & fluke in play. Love it!

about

50FOOTWAVE Los Angeles, California

This LA-based power trio formed in 2003 by Kristin Hersh and Bernard Georges of
Throwing Muses (with Rob Ahlers on drums), was named after the lowest note audible to
human ears. The band was intended as an outlet for the noise/math rock pieces that
didn't fit the aesthetic of Throwing Muses or Kristin Hersh's solo work.

This year's Bath White is their sixth release.
