Pure Bathing Culture – Ivory Coast

September 25, 2012

There are some lovely people in the world aren’t there?

Here’s an example: Memphis Industries, one of SGTMT‘s favourite record labels, had a spare test pressing of Pure Bathing Culture‘s forthcoming EP knocking around. They knew it would make our day, so they sent it to us. Lovely. That’s kind of what happened anyway.

They’ll get their reward in heaven.

The EP has been taking a spin on the turntables in our Listening Room and it’s a real beauty. Dreamy, etherial pop with stunning melodies. Swoon! Here’s our favourite, complete with weird video; Ivory Coast:

Lucky One is supremely lovely too:

Pure Bathing Culture are Portland’s Daniel Hindman and Sarah Versprille, who also play in Vetiver. Their EP is due on 19th November. Portland is in Oregon. That’s in the U.S.A. We’re out of facts.

Keep an eye on Pure Bathing Culture on Bandcamp and The Facebooks.

    Never compare. There are always people in the world who are (sadly) younger, prettier, healthier, more musically talented and – let’s face it – having more vigorous unprotected sex than you could shake a stick at, assuming your gnarled fingers could close around the stick in the first place.

    On the other hand, there are always wiser, balder, and more serene individuals who can tell you which ISA to invest in without breaking a sweat.

    Strange how I never manage to fit entirely into either camp. Explains the panic attacks, maybe.

    Oh, and that video? Ethereal, yes. Weird, you betcha. Although the alien who fathers the blue baby (I distinctly saw inappropriate touching at one stage, although I had to keep pressing rewind) is playing a Rickenbacker 360, which by amazing coincidence a model of which passed through our house earlier this week and so I know is worth a mint of money. So he could have afforded to buy his earthly squeeze something better than a rental in a trailer park.

    Damn these aliens, coming here, increasing the population, but never telling us why the moon’s apparent size is exactly the same as the sun’s during total eclipses. Even Stephen Hawking just throws up his hands in flummox over that question.

    One day, this war’s gonna end.
