Bodies Of Water Do Daytrotter

thumbnail icon: Bodies Of Water Do Daytrotter

Los Angeles indie-gospel act Bodies Of Water's sophomore album A Certain Feeling is out next week. We've already heard its "Under The Pines," and when the quartet stopped by Daytrotter they offered up more: "Even In A Cave" and Certain's title track (along with two familiar songs from last year's self-released debut Ears Will Pop & Eyes Will Blink). You can hear the aforementioned and read hardworking Bodies member David Metcalf's song notes at Daytrotter. Because the album release date's so close, we thought we'd also post another new one to celebrate the occasion.

Bodies Of Water - "Gold, Tan, Peach, And Grey" (MP3)

A Certain Feeling is out 7/22 via Secretly Canadian.

Under The Pines and Gold, Tan, Peach, And Grey are probably two of the stronger songs on the album, though Darling Be Here is also excellent I think.

The rest of it may not be quite as immediate as the Ears Will Pop... stuff but this album is _such_ a grower; after a week of listening (it was released last week here in the UK) I am thoroughly impressed.

I totally agree Michael. I was a little bummed upon first listen to this record. Much darker than Ears Will Pop, not quite as many easy hooks. Now I'm thinking I like it even more which is saying a great deal. Darling Be Here is a stunner and definitely my favorite on the album.

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
