"Digital Bath" is a song by the American alternative metal band Deftones. The song was released as a promotional single from their third studio album, White Pony. [2]
"Digital Bath" features a variety of effects and sampling. [3] 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". [4] [5]

"Digital Bath," "Knife Party," and "Change" are all defined by the ghostly samples in the background that perfectly matched Chino's vocals and the wonderful harmonic phrasing on those songs.
