Bathe Alone releases new video for Decades & Dreams

“The astonishing new track is a lush, dream-pop wonder, drawing on the vibes of Beach House and Clairo.” - Variance Magazine

Bathe Alone’s first single, “Decade & Dreams”, offers you just a taste of what’s to come on the sophomore album Fall With The Lights Down (via The Record Machine). Led by Bailey Crone, the song pairs dream-pop sounds with a moody arrangement and hefty layers of familiar ambience. “Decades & Dreams'' celebrates friendship and fearlessly looks toward the future. Complete with propulsive new-wave a-la reverb chamber energy, Crone toasts “to memories and dreams / to our decades and dreams.”

The single artwork and music video for "Decades & Dreams" were inspired by old photos of both of her great-grandmothers on a boating trip together, "where they looked completely miserable," says Crone. The video shows Bailey and her best friend — and inspiration behind the actual song — made up in full grandma finery, complete with chunky orange life vests and curly gray hair. The two share a toast to nostalgia and relive youthful adventures in the bittersweet visual.
