Back in 2013, Portland duo Pure Bathing Culture released their debut album, Moon Tides, which, among other things, featured the highly addictive dream pop single “Pendulum.” This fall they’ll follow it with Pray For Rain via Partisan, and from the sound of the 40-second album trailer, they’re adding some percussive funk/disco to their sound. Check it out below.

The band also announced a tour with fellow Portland pop band Wild Ones, which hits NYC on October 4 at Baby’s All Right. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (6/26) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

PBC last played here in September at Webster Hall, opening for Tennis. We’ve got some belated pictures of PBC’s set at that show in this post. More below…
