Mind Bath is a vocalist, producer, writer, performer, DJ, and shapeshifting storyteller whose work blurs the boundaries between music, literature, and myth. Raised in a small town in the BC Rockies, his creative voice was shaped in solitude, attuned to nature’s divinity and the inner worlds it unlocks. His output - lush with queer poetry, left-field production, and intimate vocals - has positioned him as an underground darling favourite, with a practice rooted as much in spiritual devotion as it is in sonic exploration.

He first garnered critical attention with his 2019 debut album Baby You Can Free Your Mind, described by PAPER Magazine as “soft, emotional, and stirring.” It was streamed over 5 million times worldwide by people who cried and made love to it. Since then, Mind Bath has continued to create a distinct body of work that cultivates deeper listening and transformation.

Now, Mind Bath enters a new era with Aqueous, his most ambitious and fully realized project to date: a conceptual literary-musical work comprising his debut novel and a companion full-length album, set for release in September 2026. Aqueous expands his vision into a multidimensional universe, one that invites audiences not just to read and listen - but to experiment, reflect, and evolve.

Aqueous is a psychedelic odyssey through the land of queer fantasy and mysticism. Part auto-fiction, part perverse hero’s journey, where an effervescent stardust boy cuts a hole in the sky and wakes up in a utopic new land, far removed from the oppressive, dusty dominions of the violent world on Earth, in search of healing and liberation.

Conceived at a radical faerie gathering in Vermont, Aqueous was written in a tent, on Zipolite’s Playa del Amor, on a cowboy’s couch in Texas, in his teenage bedroom in Fernie, BC, and a small Parkdale attic - where he transcribed dreams, memories, and recorded interviews with chosen family. Aqueous is exquisitely edited and guided by his long-time collaborator, June Moon (Forever), of Flower Tattoo and Cafe Lanai lore.

The story was brought to life musically in a cottage on Lake Waseosa, at an altar built to honour music. Mind Bath read chapters aloud, and then the band would jam. A band centred around Mind Bath, Ouri, Forever, and Nick Ferraro, with additional contributions from artists such as the legendary Beverly-Glenn Copeland. It is a genre-defying sound, playfully dubbed “Canadian fag-folk,” that channels the same emotional and spiritual transcendence as the novel.

Aqueous was completed over a two-year residency at Camp Flirty, a secret gay cabin in the woods. But much too cute and full of promise to stay hidden, he has returned to Montréal, where this story began, to publish the book with Metatron Press and release the album via Lighter Than Air. Mind Bath is very much looking forward to seeing how the project shapeshifts with an audience, and to the day somebody turns Aqueous into a film or a stage musical.

With Aqueous, Mind Bath deepens his role not just as a musician, but as a world-builder - a world where fantasy is a tool for healing, art is a form of resistance, and imagination opens portals to new ways of being.
