Cuddle Magic recorded their newest album in a bathroom. What you hear is six people performing together (without headphones, amplification, or overdubs) nestled amidst 23 microphones in a bathroom.
Why the bathroom? In the winter of 2013, Cuddle Magic spent three months camped out at the same address, recording a beautiful and idiosyncratic set of richly orchestrated tracks. But none of it felt quite right, except for one recording, the product of one fortuitous afternoon spent crowding around a pump organ in the bathroom.
That singularly successful bathroom recording was never forgotten, and became the inspiration for Cuddle Magic’s sixth album, Bath. The bathroom transforms the music. It contributes an incredible natural reverb (It’s a cliche and true: everyone does sound better singing in the shower!).
Bath is a document of Cuddle Magic playing a lot like they did when they started out. They re-invent tropes of 21st-century pop song structure with the quietest acoustic sounds. This album is also, simply put, the sound of six people in the same room breathing and listening together. The band (Alec, Ben, Christopher, Cole, Dave and Kristin) wishes everyone safety & health, and looks forward to the day when we can all, once again, be in such close proximity to the people we love.
