Will Wiesenfeld, the man known as electronic musician Baths, released his new record Romaplasm in late 2017 and he's on the road touring this record now. I hung out with Will backstage at Vancouver's Fortune Sound Lounge when he was on the last leg of touring his Ocean Death EP. At this point, he was anxious to get home and start writing the music for Romaplasm.
What Canadian treat does Will look forward to when spending a lot of time in the tour van? Which song from his critically-adored first record, Cerulean, is Will completely bored of? What was it like making a "weird" second record after a well-received "accessible" first record? How did a bad bout of E. coli food poisoning effect writing his second record Obsidian? How did Will's intense perfectionism shape the song "Phaedra"? Who is Canadian Morgan Greenwood (from defunct experimental-pop band Azeda Booth) and how did Morgan go from email-pal to bro to a touring member of Baths? Will Morgan ever find the correct place backstage to pee? You'll have to listen to find out!
