"Digital Bath" is a song by the American alternative metal band Deftones from their third album, White Pony. It was released as a promotional single.[citation needed] Belching Beaver released a limited edition beer named after the song in 2018.
Style
"Digital Bath" features a variety of effects and sampling.[2] The verse is composed of echoed guitar chords and soothing, whispered vocals. The song also features a high vocal pitch from Chino Moreno virtually unheard in other Deftones material. Moreno stated that despite the "prettiness" of the song, it's actually about "electrocuting a girl in a bathtub".[3][4]
Music video
A music video for the song was directed by Andrew Bennett. The video features live footage of the band intercut with segments of a woman entering a bathtub and the band performing at a rehearsal space. "Digital Bath" was performed live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on February 9, 2001.
