Brenda – Bath Time

Bath Time is a quietly hypnotic suite of indie-soul ballads from Hudson Whitlock (Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo), operating under his Brenda moniker. Across ten songs, Whitlock leans into tender falsetto vocals, cinematic arrangements, and deeply introspective songwriting, drawing from ’60s sweet soul, French pop melodrama, and Melbourne’s modern instrumental soul scene. The mood is hushed and intimate, built on melancholy melodies, gentle grooves, and understated drama. Long a cult project shared only through Bandcamp, Brenda opens up here with help from close collaborators, adding warmth and depth without losing its fragile core.
