L.A. future-poppers Fol Chen have two NYC dates in August with electro/chill-out/pop act Will Wiesenfeld aka Baths (again, not to be confused with the Bay Area band now called Royal Baths)…

“In spite of his affinity for oddball pastiche, Baths’ (née Will Wiesenfeld, all of 21) aesthetic is decidedly poppy. If you have ever expressed wishes that artists as disparate as Flying Lotus and Boards of Canada were “more hooky,” well, bless your heart, you might like Cerulean a lot. Wiesenfeld deftly mixes buoyant beats, ambient tracks, and vocal-heavy pop numbers into an album that flows together seamlessly and makes for quite a few pleasant surprises. The quietly hypnotic “Rafting Starlit Everglades” follows “Aminals,” a wide-eyed and bombastic ode to childhood wonder; the Go! Team are somewhere kicking themselves for not getting their hands on these samples first, or just for not writing this song.” [Cokemachineglow]

Those NYC shows, presented by BrooklynVegan, happen on August 3rd at Mercury Lounge (tickets) and August 4th at Union Pool (tickets). They also have a gig in Philly August 5th.

Before that, Baths, whose excellent debut, Cerulean, just came out on Anticon, have West Coast dates with Memoryhouse (who are touring with Twin Sister this August. one of those dates is with Nite Jewel). They then tour across the continent first with Jogger, then with El Ten Eleven and Dosh.

El Ten Eleven and Dosh’s NYC dates are settled – September 16th at Knitting Factory (tickets), September 18th at Mercury Lounge (tickets) – with the obvious absence of Baths on those shows (for now?).

The pictures below are from a July 6th hometown Fol Chen gig at the Echo in Los Angeles.

Non-album Baths track “Stupor” is posted above, along with some remixes including one by Daedelus who by the way is playing Santos Party House on August 15th.
