Mind Bath is gearing up to release Aqueous next month. The conceptual literary-musical work comprises a full-length album and companion debut novel, both arriving September 4, 2026. Having already unveiled the singles "Acid Nine", "Seasons Change And So Do I Bitch", and “Sea Jasmine”, today he shares the final preview of the ambitious project.
"Dear Friend, Queer Friend" features fellow Canadian, acclaimed genre-defying composer, singer, and celebrated transgender activist Beverly Glenn-Copeland.
Speaking about the new single, Mind Bath says: “In 2019 I went to a Radical Faerie gathering to celebrate Lammas. A circle of queers taught me this song in the round: Dear friend, queer friend. Let me tell you how I feel. You have given me such pleasure. I love you so.
“Dear Friend, Queer Friend was one of the first songs we wrote for this project, and it set the sonic tone for everything that followed. Aqueous was built with deep magical intention and ritual flow. The first song on the album, ‘Acid Nine’, opens with the lyrics, ‘Those who came before us, with futuristic love, I'm listening,’ and I wanted the album to close kissed by an artist who had done just that.
“I am deeply honoured. The legendary Beverly Glenn-Copeland is my hero, and having him sing these words on this song feels like the greatest musical gift I've ever given.”

MORE ABOUT MIND BATH
Raised in a small town in the BC Rockies, Mind Bath developed a creative voice shaped by solitude, attuned to nature’s divinity and the inner worlds it unlocks. Across lush queer poetry, left-field production, and intimate vocals, his work has cultivated a devoted underground following rooted as much in spiritual devotion as sonic exploration. Expanding his vision into a multidimensional universe, Aqueous invites audiences not only to read and listen, but to experiment, reflect, and evolve.
Mind Bath’s most ambitious and fully realised work to date, Aqueous was completed during a two-year residency at Camp Flirty, a secluded gay cabin in the woods. But too cute and full of promise to remain hidden away, he has returned to Montreal, where the story began, to release the album via Lighter Than Air and publish the novel with Metatron Press.

Aqueous is a psychedelic odyssey through the land of queer fantasy and mysticism. Part auto-fiction, part perverse hero’s journey, where an effervescent stardust boy cuts a hole in the sky and wakes up in a utopic new land, far removed from the oppressive, dusty dominions of the violent world on Earth, in search of healing and liberation.
From radical queer joyous faerie woo to an underground darling’s music career, the abuse of power to vignettes of a sex angel rent boy, Aqueous is healing text. Enriched by a cast of rebellious artists and sublime outsiders in collective search of liberating the core wound in every gay inner child, Aqueous is an evocative and profound meditation on the fragments of a world of trauma and the resilience, humour, and self-interrogation required to see beyond it, right through to the heart.
With Aqueous, Mind Bath deepens his role not just as a musician, but as a world-builder, a world where fantasy is a tool for healing, art is a form of resistance, and imagination opens portals to new ways of being.

PRAISE FOR MIND BATH:
“Montreal-based artist making tender, shimmering downtempo R&B” - The FADER
“‘Must Come Spring’ is a triumphant saga of tender poetry, transcendent melodies and textured R&B” - PAPER
“His R&B voice and meditative melodies transport us to a world where spirituality, sensuality, and intensity coexist. It is through his poetic stories that Mind Bath reveals himself in a more vulnerable way.” - VICE
“Mind Bath creates melodies as soothing as a long bath by candlelight.” - Red Bull
“Delicate vocals, with shades of spoken word poetry, fade into and resurge from synth-driven groove; visceral emotion echoes from sonic lacunae.” - Wonderland
