Bathaus
Arcane|||Cut [CS; Haute Magie]

Never would have guessed witch house was going to lead to this coven, Bathaus laughing all the way to the blood bank. Darkwave, here we come again, with a surreal twist that lends Arcane|||Cut an extra bit of ‘oomph’ it takes to really start garnering attention these days. I could imagine a Not Not Fun association in their future, as Bathaus bathe in that echo-chamber vibe, and cuts like “Dame” do so much with so little it’s like watching ol’ Scissorhands cut a shrubbery. Yes, a shrubbery. If Bathaus were being blacklisted and I had to ‘name names’ on pain of death I’d go with Cvlts, White Ring, recent Lucky Dragons, and maybe even labelmates Mushy. Very exciting to make this acquaintance, and too bad I missed them at SXSW. A bunch of these cassettes were released on different colors so coordinate people!
