Bathe Alone
Bathe Alone is the dream-pop moniker of multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone. Taking shape in Atlanta, her haunting approach to songwriting and delicate vocal deliveries often draw comparisons to Beach House, Clairo, and The xx.
Growing up with a formal background in classical music, Crone first burrowed her way into the Peach State’s indie scene as a teenager. She picked up drums, guitar, and bass early on and sharpened her skills playing in various bands — including touring as the drummer for the buzzy Girlpuppy.
Her 2023 double EP, Fall With The Lights Down, is a sonic expression of nostalgic longing — with each part dedicated to one of Bailey’s great-grandmothers whom she never met. The release has been praised by media outlets like Under The Radar, FLOOD, Atwood Magazine, Ones to Watch, and notable fellow musicians like Sharon Van Etten. Bathe Alone has also recently opened for artists like Beabadoobee, Jadu Heart, Vacations, and Last Dinosaurs.
