Pour Out The Heavy is the latest release from Los Angeles based duo Electric Sound Bath. Building from their 2018 release, The Forces, this album infuses subtle, organic synth tones with looped electric bass to create meditative pieces. Each song was created using intuitive, improvisations to evoke a meditative mindset in both performers, and in turn, the listeners.
To accompany the release, a video for the track Still Water, High Seas was created from footage shot at the storied Salton Sea in California. The video weaves footage from the once-resort-destination-now-polluted accidental sea as an effort to show that tranquility can be found in chaos, you just have to look.
In addition to Ang Wilson and Brian Griffith adding their signature blend of bass, modular synth, singing bowls, and samples, the duo enlisted the ears of, producer, Lewis Pesacov to master the entire album. Pesacov is most known for his work with Best Coast, FIDLAR, James Ferraro, and Fool’s Gold, however, he also has a large body of experimental work that ranges from minimal oscillator drone, to improvised guitar pieces. Using an all-tube compressor, he was able to give the album a powerful presence, while retaining the emotional warmth.
