FIREC024LP Bathhouse

Lost Tribe Sound I've not had the mind lately to enjoy a lot of neo-classical as I have in the past. Much of it has felt too pretty, too sculpted, or too formulaic for my taste. Enter Steven Legget's Bathhouse to help me regain some feelings for the genre. Much like Sebastian Mullaert's 'Natthall' (2020), Bathhouse sidewinds through lush textural backdrops, melodies that hang suspended before your eyes, and unexpected moments of rhythm that feel very much a part of the landscape.

Daniel Marsden Heard bathhouse on Andy Weatherall's music's not for everyone show via mixcloud yesterday, and it haunted my dreams over night. had to buy it this morning. Favorite track: Bathhouse.

captain nicolas Thanks, bought the record whilst up visiting friends / on a day out in Edinburgh. Recommended by a friendly guy in Underground Solu’shn. Beautiful! Made my summer - Nick/Emanative

Haunted Ghost Easily the most measured and beautiful work in the Firecracker canon, this album is a glowing piece of neo-classical ambient. From the haunting cello swoons of Forte to the GAS-like 4/4 of November, this is a great record from top to bottom. Not to mention the striking artwork by frequent collaborator Al White. 10/10 Favorite track: Forte.

about

It’s safe to say that Steven Legget has been somewhat measured in his approach to releasing music. The Newcastle native was behind the Four Hands moniker, with releases alongside iconic industrial figures Zoviet France on Signals From The North and the classic ‘Hizou’ on Claremont 56 back at the turn of the decade.

Now, this Firecracker Recordings release highlights a fully realised body of work, only hinted at by the aforementioned projects. Starting life as a performance in Turkish Baths located in Newcastle upon Tyne’s City Pool, one of the last remaining civil saunas in the country, Legget has created a textured, melodic and immersive eulogy to the woozy, slow motion, drug free endorphin rush of the bath house. Pieces from this performance, alongside field recordings collected on the islands of Paxos and Loutro, South Crete are reimagined as a luscious ambient music. Accompanied by cello and electronics with real attention paid to musicality, vast and gaseous cinematic compositions are submerged beneath waves and drenched in steam and condensation.

All profits from the sales of this LP will be donated to the charity Waves for Water:
