Chris Bathgate

Watch Chris Bathgate’s latest video for Big Ghost, taken from his new EP ‘Old Factory’ due for release in early 2012.

★★★★★ Michigan based band Small Houses return with their second LP North. Composed entirely by guitarist/vocalist Jeremy Quentin, featuring helping hands from fellow musicians Chris Bathgate and Jim Roll, alongside members of Frontier Ruckus and Red Tail Ring.

Chris Bathgate’s latest release is a record of great joy and pain which neatly couples itself with Bathgate’s cathartic recording process. He has marked himself as an adept lyricist and musician, constructing an alt-country affair tumultuous passion and despair in equal measure, and yet by the end we’re convinced of a little light relief and the thawing of this Salt Year.
