Album name and concept

The term forest bathing refers to the Japanese concept of Shinrin-yoku (森林浴), a Japanese form of nature therapy. According to L.M. Dupli-cation, "This is not an urban music. It's rural; songs of the woods and roads where there are no sidewalks or street lamps to light your way. "A Broken Road lined with Poplar Trees" describes just this- the dirt from the summer sun, a melody from home on my tongue. The song "Babayaga" by Trost, is a tribute to the archetypal crone Babayaga, who sticks out her cane just as a child runs by... And "The Washing Bear" is a classic brass romp, connecting Serbian brass with it's [sic] Southern brothers in Albania and Turkey..."[2]

The band cites the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico as "their forest bath of choice."[4]
