Music like Pure Bathing Culture

Pure Bathing Culture is an American indie pop band from Portland, Oregon, United States.

The group's members, Sarah Versprille and Daniel Hindman, first met while college students in New Jersey, they lived in Brooklyn, New York and both moved to Portland, Oregon in 2011, playing in the group Vetiver. Around 2012 they began playing live shows, and released an EP produced by Richard Swift in 2012 on Father/Daughter Records. The band toured in the US opening for Caveman and Father John Misty.

The band released its first album on Partisan Records in 2013. The album was highlighted by the single, "Pendulum", which some critics likened in style to Fleetwood Mac. One of the tracks, "Scotty", drew its lyrics and melody in part from the 1980 hit single "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones. Touring for this release included a full US tour opening for Widowspeak, followed by co-headline tour with La Luz and another full US tour opening for Tennis in the fall of 2014.
