Bathetic have continuously put out new artists on the brink of a musical and artistic divergence. Angel Olsen is their newest treat and Im completely and utterly benumbed by the song they’ve sent us by this bella voce. The song “Creator, Destroyer” is a shattering and tearful ballad hummed along in an almost too intimate embrace. Angel’s voice is nary in a stagnant note–embodying the vocal variety of Joni Mitchell, the morose candor of Françoise Hardy; though not singing but studdering, staggering, an angst-stricken woman stammers through the song until a defiant end. Bathetic is putting this out on as a c24 cassette titled Strange Cactii, I highly recommend picking it up.

I know very little about Phillip Oskar Augustine next to the fact that his name is epic and his music is uniquely genuine. His cassette Unknown Patterns (JD homage?) is out today on one of my favorite cassette labels, Bathetic Records. The track below is straight from the tape that you can purchase here.

Limited to 100 copies, Bathetic Records is releasing a c22 split with the likes of–2 dudes we’ve been digging–Cloud Nothings and Campfires. Fast paced and blown out, tunes like “Little Raygun” are the epitome of why I’ve been digging on these guys. Head to the Bathetic site to listen to another CN jam along with one from Campfires. Oh, and don’t forget to purchase this gem while your’re there.
