From heavy metal to folk

Chris Bathgate grew up in Pecatonica, IL and started playing music when he was 16. Quite Scientific is released his third album A Cork Tale Wake on June 26th.

He offers an intensity both with his vocals and lyrics. You can tell this just be hearing him talk or seeing what he writes. His MySpace page says,

"i write songs some are simple some are not some are nostaglic some come from dark places some are written from your perspective some from mine some switch back and forth some i play alot some never some were written in stairwells of parking garages some were written at a friends parents cabin some were recorded in your bedroom some in my basement some took a long long time to finish some i knew before i wrote them some i have forgotten some i havent learned yet..."

I know it is a huge run-on sentence and just rambles on, but it made sense to me and I instantly knew I would love his music. I pressed play. Love.
