After a five-year hiatus encompassing the birth of a son, a third coast to west coast and back to the third coast move, and an ongoing global pandemic – Chris Bathgate returns with ‘The Significance of Peaches’.
On this, his 6th full-length album, the NPR & BBC-lauded artist is found ruminating on time spent living in the National Forests of Michigan while homeless, his emergence into fatherhood, and yes, the significance a certain stone fruit has played throughout his life.
Sonically, ‘The Significance of Peaches’ leans heavily on the structural support of parlor organ and Bathgate’s signature multi-tracked percussion – surprisingly sparse use of guitar and strings sheathed in the middle – his haunted vocals perched atop it all.
“…a winningly moody and fequently exquisite sound – a marvelous showcase for an unassuming Midwesterner who deserves more attenetion than he gets.”, said NPR Musics’s Stephen Thompson of Bathgate’s previous work; “Beautiful, very emotional songs.” added World Cafe’s David Dye; this newest offering is from Bathgate is certainly no exception.
