The Boy Bathing is an independent rock band from New York City. Their music focuses on prolific lyricism, extravagant arrangements and dramatic live performances. The band is fundamentally comprised of four members who use a variety of sounds to create micro-worlds out of the story or imagery of each song. Their first full-length record, A Fire To Make Preparations, is releasing July 15th, 2008.
A Fire To Make Preparations was completed in early 2008 after almost two years of recording. Other songs of theirs have been featured on several European and US compilations alongside The Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens and Jens Lenkman.
Amplifier Magazine says, “…lyrics may be The Boy Bathing's strongest suit. Whether whispered, cooed or snarled, Hurwitz's words delight with their disarming blend of unpredictability, insight and jubilant resignation. If The Boy Bathing's full-length debut is at times grandiose, it's the most self-effacing grandiosity you're likely to encounter this side of Sufjan Stevens.”
The Boy Bathing has performed with Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr.), Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins), Kevin Devine, Apollo Sunshine, Crooked Fingers, Love as Laughter, Honorary Title, Caitlin Cary (Whiskeytown), Ida, Jay Brannan and many others.
