| Description: | Obsidian is an album by Baths, released in 2013. The album is a electronic CD. - 2013 release from Electronic musician Will Wiesenfeld (AKA Baths). Three years ago, Baths dropped his startlingly beautiful debut, CERULEAN, blurring the line between post-modern pop and the LA beat scene with devastating emotional clarity. It's tone was as celestial as it's album title, taken from a shade of blue typically used to describe the sky. Cerulean earned year-end best of recognition from Pitchfork and the Onion's AV Club and established Chatsworth-raised Will Wiesenfeld as one of the finest young composers (and falsettos) in Los Angeles. His sophomore album Obsidian finds him emerging as one of the most complete artists of his generation. As one might expect, the name hints at darker overtones. The mood is shimmering and pitch-black; the lovely blood flow has turned into lava.Digipak with 24 page CD booklet that folds into one sheet (measuring 3x4).
The first 200 preorders of Obsidian in vinyl or CD format were accompanied by an exclusive, limited-edition zine titled "I Can't Draw Yet". The 22-page zine features illustrations by none other than Baths himself, in addition to a couple submissions from his talented pals.
