Dream Pop Band BATHE ALONE Share New Single; On Tour Now

Atlanta dream pop artist Bathe Alone announces they will release a deluxe version of their new album, I Don’t Do Humidity, on November 22nd. Bathe Alone is the moniker for multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone, who works closely with producer Damon Moon (Curtis Harding, Lunar Vacation & more). The original album, released this past June, unpacks her recent divorce and toxic friendships. The deluxe version will feature the new single, “The Avenues,” out Friday, as well as one more unreleased song, plus a fan version of “Call Me Back.” 

Crone adds, “‘The Avenues’ was written around the same time as ‘Victims’ and ‘Blame Me,’ so to me it comes from the same sort of place in the grieving process – it was a really angry time. The moments I was writing about were the ones that proved all my suspicions to be true. I felt validated, and writing this song was definitely me getting to that place. Originally this song felt a little too close to me to include on the record, but now it feels like it’s time to let this one go free.”

This week, the band kicked off their first-ever headline tour last night in Athens, GA. The tour will take them to Chapel Hill, NC, Brooklyn, NY, and Pittsburgh, PA. While primarily the project of Crone, she enlists a full band of five other talented musicians, including Damon, to perform live, creating layered soundscapes and enthralling performances that have caught the attention of their peers. The headline run follows numerous support slots for artists like Bombay Bicycle Club, Jadu Heart, Beabadoobee, Vacations, and Last Dinosaurs.

Growing up with a formal background in classical music, Crone first burrowed her way into the Peach State’s indie scene as a teenager. She picked up drums, guitar, and bass early on and sharpened her skills playing in various bands, including touring as the drummer for the buzzy Girlpuppy. The band was founded on her skills as a drummer, with influences from punk to ambient guitar drenched in delay. For I Don’t Do Humidity, Crone poured her divorce experience into what is the most raw, experimental, and personal project of her career while discovering a newfound confidence in her vocal abilities. It features a kaleidoscopic array of swirling synths, moody minor-key melodies, lush vocal layers, and hazy, crystalline production, courtesy of Moon and his Atlanta studio, Standard Electric Recorders Co.
