“Mind Bath has always had a literary flair to his work. Crafting immersive alt-R&B journeys through sound, new album ‘Aqueous’ is intended to function on multiple levels. It’s a deeply imaginative, highly creative work, a conceptual literary-musical work that functions both as a full-length album and companion debut novel.” - Clash

Today, Mind Bath releases Aqueous, a conceptual literary-musical work comprising a full-length album and companion debut novel, via Lighter Than Air and Metatron Press.
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.
The album features the singles “Acid Nine” and “Seasons Change and So Do I Bitch,” alongside “Dear Friend, Queer Friend,” a collaboration with fellow Canadian Beverly Glenn-Copeland, the acclaimed genre-defying composer, singer and celebrated transgender activist.

WATCH / SHARE “DEAR FRIEND, QUEER FRIEND” FT. BEVERLY GLENN-COPELAND
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.
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
