For his fourth full-length album Gut, Will Wiesenfeld - the acclaimed musician known as Baths - embraces a new personal ethos of writing "from the stomach" versus writing from the heart. "I'm sketching my strongest and most pervasive feelings out quickly and treating their roughness as gospel, then exploring them in greater detail with the added sheen of time and perspective." The most impressive Baths album of Wiesenfeld's career, Gut spans a breathtaking spectrum of lacerating hopelessness to lustful joy, inspired by the more unforgiving oeuvre of post-punk and noise music, and any music that works it's magic through blunt force rather than careful introspection.
