“Cerulean R is the expanded 15th anniversary reissue of my first Baths record, Cerulean. The “R” in the title refers to the tagline “Reissue, Remix, Resurface, Remaster”.
The Release itself is split into 3 constituent parts:
“Reissue” LP1 is a reissue of the original record.
“Remix” LP2 contains 8 unheard remixes created in 2010-2011, around the original release.
“Resurface” LP3 contains 8 unsung Baths songs from the same Cerulean era, including unheard demos, all of which have never had any sort of Physical release.
The entirety of the Cerulean R release is beautifully remastered by the same engineer who mastered the original record 15 years ago, Daddy Kev. The most unique aspect of Cerulean R is that all of this music is from the precise 2009-2011 era that it was created, with no recent intervention besides the mastering process. It’s all part of the sort of pocket universe that existed around its release— a true time capsule. It’s a magical thing to be able to include so much material that has waited an entire 15 years to be heard for the first time. Cerulean launched my career and gave me a footing in music that I’d only ever dreamed possible, and I owe so much of my continued success to the relationship that people have with this record. I’m proud to celebrate it with as much of an offering as I was able to make. It’s my attempt at trying to collect all the remaining easter eggs surrounding Cerulean, to bring fans in as close as possible.”
