Pixel Bath by Jean Dawson Album Info
"Pixel Bath" is the debut studio album from Los Angeles based artist Jean Dawson. The album was released October 23, 2020. Featuring a whole host of collaborators both old (Lecx Stacy, Hoskins) and new (A$AP Rocky, Jim-E Stack, Gabe Wax), Pixel Bath touches on themes of belonging, power, and death. Be it garage rock delivery over 2000's alt-pop production ("Devilish"), synthwave homages ("Shiner"), or a brief foray into industrial rap ("06 Burst"), Dawson is relentless in tugging at the common threads between seemingly distinct genres, determined to see what happens when it all unravels. "Pixel Bath" puts Dawson's command over catchy melodies on full display, particularly on cuts like "Bruiseboy" and "Starface*." "Bruiseboy," which was released as a single back in February, is a manic journey through the twilight zone between imagination and reality. The common link between each song is the unwavering resolve with which Dawson stares down his demons. The devil takes several forms throughout the project. On "Clear Bones," it's the Grim Reaper. On "Pegasus" and Bandcamp Day special release "Policia," it's the threat of state-sponsored violence. At times, it's the naysayers, and at others, himself. Regardless, Dawson stands his ground in the face of the various bogeymen. The avant-popstar says it best on "Power Freaks:" "I know they don't want smoke with me / Play dead, pussy boy, get ate."
