The Body – “End Of Line”

The Body – “End Of Line”

The Body work fast. Earlier this year, the Portland heavy-music experimenters teamed up with Berlin-based singer/producer Dis Fig on the collaborative album Orchards Of A Futile Heaven. Now, the Body are about to release a new LP of their own. This fall, their record The Crying Out Of Things will land on us.

The Body, singer/guitarist Chip King and electronics/percussion specialist Lee Buford, recorded The Crying Out Of Things with producer/engineer Seth Manchester. Dis Fig guests on the album, as do singer Ben Eberle and horn player Dan Blacksburg. Lead single “End Of Things” is a mostly-instrumental doom-churn — I think there’s some wordless screaming deep in the mix — that creates a darkly immersive feeling. Check out that song and the new LP’s tracklist below.

TRACKLIST:
01 “Last Things”

04 “A Premonition”
