Baths - Cerulean (Albums of 2010)

An absolute breath of fresh air. The days were apparently getting shorter when I discovered it, not that I noticed! This album captivated me with it's twisted, blissful beats. Everything just felt that little bit brighter. With the exception of the likes of Matthew Dear the concept of singer/songwriter rarely applies to electronic music and even when it does there is usually an imbalance one way or the other. Not in this instance. Musically, Ceruleans has an air of Flying Lotus with it's constantly shifting beats. Have a listen to Hall as a cracking example. Will Weisenfield also mucks in with some pretty impressive vocal turns. It kills me that it came out in August and I missed being able to enjoy it in the summertime. Well at least it's making the nights seem a little brighter for the time being. Roll on the solstice!
