Ablebody – “Backseat Heart” Video
Ablebody began as the solo project of Christoph Hochheim, a former guitarist for both Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and Depreciation Guild. He later enlisted his identical twin brother Anton to form a duo that has been quietly releasing dusty dream-pop for the past few years, including an excellent 7-inch back in 2014. They’ve now announced a debut full-length entitled Adult Contemporaries out later this year. Lead single “Backseat Heart” finds their sound crystalized into clean ’80s synth rock, likely a result of moving from the bedroom to their studio team of Cole M. Grief-Neill and Kenny Gilmore (who both have worked with Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti). It’s bold, but subtle — a five-minute single that drifts by, comfortable in its grandeur. Watch director Megan Cullen’s video for the song below.
