When Michigan-based singer/songwriter Chris Bathgate released his last album five years ago, Paste named him a Best New Artist. Instead of going back to the studio to crank out another album, Bathgate instead spent two years in the woods. Now he's back with his latest EP, “Old Factory,” which he says is deeply influenced by his time spent reconnecting with nature. Hear Bathgate explain the influence in his own words in this video from John Hanson and D.J. Viernes.
