Amanda Roszkowski writesCHIRP Radio welcomes Baths and Young Fathers to Concord Music Hall This Friday!

A classically trained electronic one man act and a Scottish rap band? That’s right! This Friday, May 9, Young Fathers blends their interesting psych-pop take on rap with Baths’ post-modern pop, electronic sound for what should be a surrealistic performance.

Baths is coming off a run of sold out Japanese and Fall US tour dates last year supporting The Postal Service. He has successfully blended the sound of post-modern pop with that of the underground west coast beat scene. Three years ago, the man behind Baths, Will Wisenfeld, debuted his first album, Cerulean and it earned year-end “Best Of” recognition from Pitchfork and The Onion’s A.V. Club, establishing him as one of the finest young composers (and falsettos) in Los Angeles. Later in his second album, Obsidian, we saw him bloom with a much darker sound that flows with shadowy sentiment and sexually charged undertones.

Young Fathers, who will open for Baths, are from the UK via Liberia, Nigeria and Scotland. The trio has developed a one-of-a-kind sound that borders on mid-teen hip hop to psych-pop rap. In 2013, they ventured to the States, and blew people away at SXSW before continuing to amaze audiences around Europe and the UK, gaining more and more fans. Now, they will do the same as they tour the US with Baths.

The show is this Friday, May 9 at Concord Music Hall in Logan Square. Doors open at 8pm, the show is at 8:30pm and is 17 and over. Get your tickets here!
