From here on out, our designers — employees, interns, friends, whoever fits the bill — will share a collection of tracks and design their very own unique album artwork for each curated piece. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy are we embarking on this project? Well, we bathe to wash away the dirt, to rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit, and take a meditative journey — and music is another medium for doing just that: to wash the day away, to be transported. Our favorite albums and playlists take us on a journey; they enhance powerful feelings of love, connection, celebration — and, on the flip side, alienation and grief — and leave you new. We want to share in those moments together, and so this series began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis first one we’re calling “Last Sunsets”. In the designer’s own words:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan face='\"souvenirstd' style=\"font-family: souvenirstd;\"\u003e\"I’ve been mourning the passing of summer, settling into fall, and cherishing the last of our warm weather as well as the last of my post-work sunsets. Soon, I — along with many of you — will step out of my office into the dark, and I’ve been making the most of the daylight while I can. The artwork and the music here play on that: some of it is exuberant and bright — the last rays of sunshine of our shorter days — and others feel, well, a bit darker.\" -Mike\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope you enjoy!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Bathing Culture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1792\/8179\/files\/2A_28862e30-afe4-4932-a4f0-19c329a8a9f7_large.png?v=1573277586\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTracklist \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1. \"Autumn Tears\" by Vashti Bunyan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2. \"Poem\" by U.S. Girls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3. \"Closer to Grey\" by Chromatics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4. \"Cybele's Reverie\" by Stereolab\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5. \"Blue Skies Again\" by Jessica Lea Mayfield\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6. \"Turn Blue\" by Mark Ronson \u0026amp; Angel Olsen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7. \"Has Ended\" by Thom Yorke\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8. \"On the Level\" by Leonard Cohen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9. \"The Greatest\" by Lana Del Rey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10. \"Summertime\" by Girls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11. \"This Time Around\" by Jessica Pratt\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12. \"Terminal Paradise\" by Big Thief\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13. \"Chance\" by Angel Olsen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14. \"Keep Pushing On\" by John Maus\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n","blog_id":48964599897,"author":"Bathing Culture","user_id":30291853401,"published_at":"2019-11-14T14:00:00-08:00","updated_at":"2021-08-31T13:29:22-07:00","summary_html":"The first installment of bath soaked playlists and fresh album artwork from friends and collaborators.","template_suffix":"","handle":"bath-tapes-vol-1","tags":"Music","image":{"created_at":"2019-11-15T10:07:53-08:00","alt":"","width":2048,"height":1053,"src":"\/\/bathingculture.com\/cdn\/shop\/articles\/7C.jpg?v=1573841273"}}]
