Baths is the stage name of American electronic musician Will Wiesenfeld (born April 16, 1989).^[2] He was born in Tarzana and was raised in Woodland Hills. He currently resides in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California.^[3]

History[link]

Will Wiesenfield is a classically trained musician, and began learning the piano at the age of four "to compete with his brother".^[3] By twelve he had "completely abandoned it," but continual musical experimenting lead him to record his first piece of music at age fourteen. Under a previous moniker, [Post-foetus], he wrote four albums and three EPs.^[3] He also ventured into a more ambient style with side-project Geotic, a project which Irish magazine State.ie called "gorgeous".^[4]

After adopting the name Baths, he released debut album Cerulean on independent record label Anticon in 2010.^[5] He recorded the entire album in two months from his bedroom.^[2] The BBC's Mike Diver claims Baths' nearest musical sound-a-like is chillwave musician Toro Y Moi.^[6] Pitchfork noted Baths' influences, acts such as Björk and Flying Lotus, were "obvious" in his work.^[7]

Drowned in Sound noted Baths' use of "unorthodox" sounds layered in and around the electronics, in particular "clicking pens, vocal samples, rustling blankets and scissor snaps".^[5] British newspaper The Guardian's Paul Lester commented he was reminded of "J Dilla playing around with the Pavement and Prince catalogues" while listening to the album.^[2] While much of his music is instrumental, it can occasionally incorporate vocals, most of them falsetto.^[8]

Cerulean was listed by The A.V. Club as the 21st best album of 2010.^[9] It made Pitchfork's Album of the Year: Honorable Mention list.^[7]
