We’ve been head-over-heels in love with Baths (aka L.A. resident Will Wiesenfeld) since hearing the opening notes of his 2010 album Cerulean: a heavenly harmony that sounds like it’s wafted in on a breeze from some faraway dreamy wonderland. “Apologetic Shoulderblades” then explodes into life with palpitating beats and electronic burbling, at once disorientating and soothing. There’s an enlivening vein of inventiveness and character throughout the record, marking Wiesenfeld out from more distant and faceless electronica artists. He’s supported at Cargo by hyped solo artist Star Slinger.
