Bodies of Water are by far one of the most interesting bands I saw at SXSW this year. Even from two venues away, I could hear the shrill strains of their three and four part vocals pounding out “These are the eyes!” Nothing wakes you up at 1 am after 14 hours of music like Bodies of Water.
Now the band is planning to release their new album, A Certain Feeling, this August on Secretly Canadian. From the sound of this first song, “Under The Pines,” it’s business as usual for Bodies of Water, at least when your business is making each song totally unique from the next. You still get the same grandiose guitar arrangements set to odd time signatures, but it all sounds very raw and unpolished (after all it was recorded in a house), like a prog-rock band practicing in a garage.
We’ll keep you updated on the album, but for now, check out “Under The Pines” after the jump.
