THE BODY SHARE METEORIC NEW SINGLE “LESS MEANING”

THE BODY SHARE METEORIC NEW SINGLE “LESS MEANING

NEW ALBUM THE CRYING OUT OF THINGS DUE NOV. 8TH
VIA THRILL JOCKEY

Just ahead of the release of their new album The Crying Out of Things, out November 8th, The Body have shared the roaring, meteoric single “Less Meaning.” Simultaneously one of the band’s fastest and most adventurous songs to date, “Less Meaning” melds their singular abrasive sound with contrasting, stark rhythmic silences before erupting full-force with guitarist/vocalist Chip King’s desperate howls and an intoxicating mix of drummer/programmer Lee Buford’s tambourine, 808s, and swirling filtered drums. The song demonstrates the duo’s mastery of incorporating the bristling energy of their chest-thumping live shows with their endlessly creative studio arrangements.

The Body have been a leading force of innovation in heavy music for over two decades. The prolific duo of guitarist/vocalist Chip King and Lee Buford (on percussion/electronics) have consistently expanded the scope of what heavy music can be. The Body has produced a wealth of groundbreaking collaborations and benchmark albums that over the past 2 decades have changed the perceptions and directions of heavy music. Known for the monolithic force of their music, and their inventive production techniques, their albums are benchmarks in the expansion and evolution of heavy music. Tightly packed with deceptively nuanced arrangements, exhilarating and challenging distortion, their albums are possessed of an unmistakably singular sound. The Crying Out of Things is no exception, a culmination of all that The Body have done before, highlighting their mastery of dynamic, monumental music that pushes toward the unmistakable sound of oblivion.

The Body are currently finishing up a collaborative tour with Dis Fig throughout the UK and EU, whom they released Orchards of a Futile Heaven earlier this year.

Praise for The Body:

“Led by Buford’s pummelling strides behind the drum kit and Chip King’s screaming voice, guitars and electronics, The Body meld noise, industrial, doom, and black metal into a majestic hammer that smashes against loose pop structures, reverberating dubs or dissonant choir chants. Punishing, voluminous and overdriven by emotion, their music weighs heavily on your chest. Yet it cradles fragility and the potential of reflective, cleansing and preternaturally beautiful resolution.” – The Wire cover feature

“These recordings have such texture and depth they resemble topographic maps, perfectly preserving every peak, valley, and crevice.” – Pitchfork

“This is pulverising, cacophonic stuff but it’s also considered and atmospheric. The Body understand the magnitude of power in letting the beast sleep before rattling its cage once more.” – Uncut

“[The Body] have achieved that inspirational feat of crafting a sound like no other.” – Bandcamp
