Sarah Versprille and Daniel Hindman, are the pair behind Portland, Oregon.-based Pure Bathing Culture, the pair have been on a decades-long journey filled with transformations and discoveries.

Pure Bathing Culture’s history spans nearly two decades, beginning in 1999 with Versprille and Hindman befriending one another on the first day of freshman activities at William Patterson University.

A decade later, they became bandmates when they both joined folk band Vetiver for their albums Tight Knit and The Errant Charm. Pure Bathing Culture revealed itself and became its own entity as time progressed. “That’s really the path we’ve been on as a band, always putting one foot in front of the other as opportunities presented themselves,

Today, Pure Bathing Culture are releasing the gauzy music video for “She Shakes,” the latest single off their 2015 album Pray for Rain, “We haven’t been in one of our videos since the very first video we made for our song Ivory Coast about four years ago, and we were excited about the idea of being in another video,” the band says. Filmed at Greer Ranch in Calabasas, Calif., the music video focuses on the key elements of Pure Bathing Culture: Versprille  and, Hindman, and their instruments. “We wanted it to take place somewhere beautiful and we wanted the expression to honor one of the most important aspects of our music, which is our connection to each other.”

Pure Bathing Culture – Pray For Rain
Portland duo Pure Bathing Culture follow 2012’s self-titled debut with this, a record richer than its predecessor in every sense. There’s not much going on, but the band’s knack for warm melody means you can get lost in every track. ‘The Tower’ and ‘Clover’ charm most, timeless pop songs that move slowly, as if they’ve been out in the sun for too long.

Last month, Pure Bathing Culture put out their glistening sophomore effort Pray For Rain, and today the title track has gotten a remix courtesy of Sylvan Esso. Somehow, the two feel like compatriots, even though they’re not very sonically similar — I guess it’s because they’re both duos, wrangling with sounds that are just a little bit past their peaks. Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn — who just put out a solo EP recently as Made Of Oak — proudly evades the characteristically boring remix route and creates something that can actually stand on its own away from the original track, using its basic structure as more of a guideline than a rule.

“Sometimes when you get asked to remix a song you already love, it can be tough to find a good angle without completely changing the vibe,” Sanborn  “So it was really cool of Pure Bathing Culture to give Amelia and I so much leeway on this stylistically. If there are any house DJs out there who ever get down to 105bpm, this one’s for them.”

pure bathing culture are gearing up for the release of their sophomore album “Pray For Rain”, out october 23rd via partisan records. the portland duo shared the album’s confident title track towards the end of this past july, and earlier this week they offered up its second single. “Palest Pearl” finds Pure Bathing Culture diving headlong into the 1980s, fixing a buoyant melody atop a cautionary lyrical tale derived from a seminal h.d. poem. the track is as gargantuan as its predecessor, at least in comparison to the more subdued approach the duo took on their debut moon tides; at this rate, pray for rain could easily be this fall’s most-underrated pop album.
