Product Information
Dark Entries returns to the steam room with Coatshek's Sound Bath. For their SoundBaths series, now-defunct poppers brand Double Scorpio commissioned artists to make mixes for an imaginary queer bathhouse. When asked to contribute, San Francisco-based artist Coatshek aka Sheki Cicelsky took the opportunity to create original compositions. The resulting album, Sound Bath, serves as a masterclass in slow and sultry ambient techno. Taking inspiration from Pink Floyd, Manuel Göttsching's E2-E4, and his friend's DJ mixes (particularly Nick Moss and Matthew Paul's for "Por Detroit"), Coatshek landed on 107 bpm as the optimal speed for sauna sex. With just a few synths, his Telecaster, and "lots of delays, reverb, and weed," he sculpted stunning cuts like the effortlessly grooving "Softest" and the psych-laced "Triple Virgo." The cover for Sound Bath was designed by Coatshek's fiancé Nate Sprecher, and features photographs by Luke Kraman taken at The Ever Afters campout. The album also includes an insert featuring the Double Scorpio SoundBaths series artwork by Blake Wright. Equally hypnogogic and sexually supercharged, Sound Bath situates the bathhouse as a liminal dreamspace of unbounded erotic potentiality.
