Seeing as Chris Thomson and the Bathers surfaced with a short set on BBC Scotland recently, I am actively managing expectations that there might be a new Bathers album in the works. He is certainly in fine voice: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02t4vw2
With The Apartments and Michael Head (Shack, Pale Fountains) releasing new material in 2015, I don't want to be greedy and hope for new Bathers too. But I can't help it - they're wonderful.
