Baths, the acclaimed LA-based artist/producer Will Wiesenfeld, today announced his first album in seven years, Gut. The album’s exuberant lead single, “Sea of Men,” which arrives alongside a self-directed video, is the perfect entry point into the world of Gut.

A darkly humorous and honest track that expresses bravado and deep vulnerability at once, Wiesenfeld sings bluntly about his relationship with sex over eerie yet jovial guitars that almost sound like harpsichords. “I find myself thinking about how confusingly animal I often feel - present in body but dissociative in spirit. Instinctual,” he explains. “An entire life where appetite comes first and ‘carnal is a normal mode,’ leaving little room to discover anything new about myself while constantly scavenging for the next gratification."

“Sea of Men” is one of six LP tracks that feature live drums (by Casey Dietz and Sam KS); it’s the most extraordinary degree to which outside drummers have ever been involved in a Baths project to date.
