In Your Wake is the newest single by Atlanta-based dreampop project Bathe Alone. It is part of a new compilation that comprises the 2022 EP, Fall With The Lights Down (Louise), and Fall With The Lights Down (Velma), and it comes out on August 4th, 2023.
Bathe Alone comments on the release's theme and its infatuation with the past: “I was browsing my dad's Facebook, and he had uploaded all of these family photos. She just looks super unhappy and out of context being on a boat. Then there’s another photo of the other great-grandma in a yellow vest with a picnic basket next to her. I thought these photos were so weird and powerful.”
In Your Wake is about taking control over one's future. Bailey has to say about the track: “Sometimes fate does what it wants, and you don't really have a say in it. This song is an internal discussion about trusting yourself and that you’re making all the right decisions for the future that you want. Sometimes when you're feeling like things are moving slow or you’re on the wrong path, you really just need to believe that you’re headed somewhere by your own design. ‘Wake’ is someone’s action, wrath, energy, and determination. It’s the breaking of fate and attempting to take control.”
The new compilation is heavily influenced by bygone times and feelings of loss, delivering a meaningful understanding of nostalgia.
