>tall rock shelf, are you maybe here to help me hurt myself

Am I missing something or does Baths get away with the most cringeworthy DARKNESS to critical acclaim? I'm impressed with his production skills, I really am, but holy shit the lyrics what are you doing.

I thought this album was beautiful. He had a serious disease while creating it hence the bleakness.

The songwriting, the production, the singing, it's all beautiful but the lyrics could've as well come from an angsty teenager on DeviantArt.

>>52421120
yeah he tried his best but you can tell hes not quite fucked enough in the head to write truly bleak songs
iirc in some interview, he said that before he wrote the lyrics for this album he read about the history of plagues and other sources of human suffering
still a good album though

asif i love his lyrics. That song isn't his best though

what happens if baths were to collab with grimes

it really is weird that his lyrics are so dark. He's like one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

Nah

Could you elaborate on that maybe? What do you like about the lyrics?

Robin didn't make depressing stuff, though. Different case. This guy shows it off, but only through one medium. His speech and his work seem out of sync.

I think Dylan from Cloud Nothings weirds me out the most in this sense, though. Plays a complete douchebag in his lyrics, but seems chill in person.

Hm. His lyrics are interesting and kind of humbling and warm at times. Like "we share a toilet seat".

they're so sincere, like Xiu Xiu or something

Worsening is my favourite Baths song by far, shame the album never matches it later on.

The only moment I cringe is during FIRST BOYFRIEND YOU LIVE IN MY HOUSE AND WE SHARE A TOILET SEAT

>> No.52425434

>>52425423
why does that make you cringe? That's a fantastic and sincere lyric.

>> No.52425539

>>52425388
holy shit this. Worsening was SOTY 2013, album was imo a 6.
