Baths - Gut (2025)
Gut is Baths’ most emotionally and sonically ambitious release in years, fusing lush electronic arrangements with aggressive guitars, string sections, and live percussion. Will Wiesenfeld delves deeply into themes of queer love, grief, and longing with unfiltered honesty, especially in songs like “Sea of Men” and “Eden.” The production walks a fine line between chaos and clarity, embracing a “stomach music” aesthetic—raw, instinctive, and visceral. The addition of the Isaura String Quartet brings sweeping drama and tenderness to several tracks, enhancing the emotional impact. With a breathtaking closer and a confident narrative arc, Gut feels like Baths’ most powerful and vulnerable work to date.
