Pure Bathing Culture announce new EP to honour Richard Swift and share lead track "Something Silver"

"Something Silver" is the opening track from Pure Bathing Culture's four-track Carrido EP, and marks their first new single since last year's Night Pass album.

The EP features three new Pure Bathing Culture tracks, as well as a cover of Richard Swift's "Would You?".

Carrido was recorded at Swift's National Freedom Studio just two months after the musician passed. Swift's wife Shealynn invited Pure Bathing Culture to be the first to record at Swift's studio after he died. Pure Bathing Culture's Sarah Versprille says, "We knew immediately that we would go. It was a place we knew well and loved, and we wanted to honor our friend."

Versprille adds of the EP title, "As we were working I was doing something I often do, I started writing the same word over and over again and in this instance the word was RICARDO ... it started to shift and soon it transformed. I started writing the word CARRIDO over and over again. For us Carrido became a world where we could be with our friend again, a place where we could be together one more time doing what we love. It’s a place where we can make sense of the things that happen that feel tragic and inexplicably heartbreaking … it’s a place where we can go to find our way back to ourselves again."

From 3 July until 10 July, Pure Bathing Culture will donate 50% of all Carrido sales on Bandcamp to Youth Power PDX.
