Russian Baths fuses the abrasive sounds of New York in the eighties, the angular outbursts of DC hardcore, shoegaze's torrents of noise and the suffocating anxiety of the Information Age. They're named after the iconic co-owned bathhouse that itself reflects the dark and light histories of the city. One part horror movie soundtrack, and one part personal confession, the band's forthcoming album, "Mirror," is at once imposing and intimate. For fans of Blonde Redhead, the Cure, Protomartyr, Spirit of the Beehive, Dry Cleaning and other music.
