"Dark Entries returns to the steam room with
Coatshek
's
Sound Bath
. For their
SoundBaths
series, now-defunct poppers brand
Double Scorpio
commissioned artists to make mixes for an imaginary queer bathhouse. When asked to contribute, San Francisco-based artist Coatshek aka
Sheki Cicelsky
took the opportunity to create original compositions. The resulting album,
Sound Bath
, serves as a masterclass in slow and sultry ambient techno. Taking inspiration from
Pink Floyd
,
Manuel Göttsching
's
E2-E4
, and his friend's DJ mixes (particularly
Nick Moss
and
Matthew Paul
's for 'Por Detroit'), Coatshek landed on 107 bpm as the optimal speed for sauna sex. With just a few synths, his Telecaster, and 'lots of delays, reverb, and weed,' he sculpted stunning cuts like the effortlessly grooving 'Softest' and the psych-laced 'Triple Virgo.' The cover for
Sound Bath
was designed by Coatshek's fiancé
Nate Sprecher
, and features photographs by
Luke Kraman
taken at The Ever Afters campout. The album also includes an insert featuring the Double Scorpio
SoundBaths
series artwork by
Blake Wright
. Equally hypnogogic and sexually supercharged,
Sound Bath
situates the bathhouse as a liminal dreamspace of unbounded erotic potentiality."
