“Ivory Coast” is an idealized summer day, both bright and melancholy in divine proportion. It’s the kind of song that I can fall in love with, not for a presumed perfection—nothing in this reality is perfect. I’m in love with it for the imaginary that Pure Bathing Culture‘s simple dreaminess beckons—to be perfectly aligned with another’s essence, flawless health, to live in a moment of bliss forever. True or not, Pure Bathing Culture has me.

Their  self-titled debut EP is available as a glossy wax 12″ courtesy of Father/Daughter Records. It can be purchased here or streamed as individual tracks on the Pure Bathing Culture Bandcamp.
