Atlanta dream pop artist Bathe Alone shares her double EP, Fall With The Lights Down (Louise) & (Velma). The moniker is for multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone, who worked closely with producer Damon Moon (Curtis Harding, Lunar Vacation & more) and recorded the album at his iconic Decatur studio, Standard Electric. Known for being experimental to achieve the blissed-out, hazy soundscapes they are known for, they sought out metal and other found objects to create noises to loop behind the classic instruments and Crone’s muffled vocals on the record. The result is a sonic expression of nostalgic longing, with each part dedicated to one of Bailey’s great-grandmothers whom she never met and are pictured on the cover of their namesake EP.

She explains, “I was browsing my dad’s Facebook, and he had uploaded all of these family photos. She just looks super unhappy and out of context being on a boat. Then there’s another photo of the other great-grandma in a yellow vest with a picnic basket next to her. I thought these photos were so weird and powerful.”

While Fall With The Lights Down’s imagery is primarily centered around Crone’s great-grandmothers, the project also considers the many ways we experience loss (which extends to the absence of a pet) and the good memories one makes while young that one will look back on forever. The record features the previously released first half, “Louise,” along with the ethereal new singles, “Missionary Ridge,” “In Your Wake,” and “Awfully Quiet.” The double EP will be available as one album on vinyl through The Record Machine.
