The Bathers

The Bathers are one of Scottish music’s great secrets, though it’s becoming an increasingly poorly kept one as their recent renaissance gathers glorious steam. The core lineup of Chris Thomson, Callum McNair, Nico Bruce and Hazel Morrison will be augmented by The Sirenesque String Quartet for a very special evening which will feature songs from their highly acclaimed latest releases Sirenesque and Pandemonia as well as classics from a catalogue of 8 studio albums stretching back to the late 1980’s. Though they have often been compared to Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Van Morrison, Tim Buckley, Bowie and The Blue Nile, The Bathers are a completely unique and achingly beautiful proposition.

'Lush, cinematic, essential…a beautiful thing - lost lullabies, hungover Casanovas, dreamy farewells... operatic intensity' Uncut 910

'Exquisite…A dash of Nick Cave/Tom Waits noir but Thomson aims even higher with the timeless classicism of Sinatra' The Scotsman 45

'The Bathers are literate, expressive and romantic….the best-kept secret and weirdest anomaly in Scottish music…they might just have made the album of the year' Loudersound.com
