KOOKY 202EP
|
Championed by Iggy Pop, the second vinyl single from bloody/bath is a new two track 7" Burning/A Dream. The Northampton-based post-punk band recorded the tracks with WH Lung and Eagulls producer Matt Peel at The Nave in Leeds. Burning/A Dream comes after a busy 2022 for the band, seeing them support bdrmm, Do Nothing, Deadletter, Opus Kink, and Ritual Howls while promoting Idle Hands/Sunder, their first 7" single on Kooky>Too. "Idle Hands" received BBC Radio 6Music play from Iggy Pop, Lauren Laverne, and Steve Lamacq, who described it as "so elegant and haunted, in an almost gothic way, but with that bass momentum of a proper post-punk song". They have been highlighted by Radio X's John Kennedy, while Louder Than War described them as "music to submerge yourself in". Beginning in 2020 as a bedroom project before evolving into a full band in 2021, bloody/bath have steadily accrued a fanbase via their intense, cathartic live shows and online.

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.
