Russian Baths – “Split”

Indiana-based Russian Baths have mastered the quiet/loud song structure on latest single, “Split.” Quirky, pitch-shifted guitars and haunting vocals power the verses before plunging into a doom-drenched chorus, lush with fuzz tones and angular drum patterns. While lightly abrasive at times (in a good way), “Split” never loses the backbone of pop songwriting, with plenty of interesting melodies and sounds to dive into. You may be expecting an absolute maelstrom of noise to erupt at some point, but Russian Baths keep the song spring-loaded without ever exploding, adding to the tasty feelings of urgency and unrest. Like The Cure meets DIIV at their gothiest (their words, not ours), we think “Split’s” noisy simmer is going to be one of your newest favorites.

Russian Baths – “Slenderman”

Russian Baths specialize in incorporating dissonance into traditional song structures. “Slenderman” makes this perfectly evident by blending atonal noise, 70s space rock, and modern indie punk sensibility into a three minute wall of sound. This NYC four-piece has jammed their songs full of big muff driven guitars, rolling tom beats, and cavernous female vocals… Dirty, but beautiful. Russian Baths’ new EP is out 2/23/2018 via Good Eye Records. Check it out on iTunes.
