Body Type Release New Music Video for “Mulberry”
Body Type has established itself as an essential band in Australia for the past decade, sharing stages with prominent bands such as Foo Fighters, Sleater-Kinney, The Pixies, and King Gizzard. Their third album, “Tally,” which is due to be released on July 24 under King Gizzard’s p(doom) Records, signifies a deliberate change in direction. Unlike their previous album, “Expired Candy,” which rode the post-pandemic wave, Body Type’s latest work offers a more laid-back approach. The album reflects a shift towards quieter aspirations, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a level of confidence that allows the band to slow down and allow the music to breathe.
A standout track from the album, “Mulberry,” introduces a dreamy and introspective narrative. Lead singer Georgia Wilkinson-Derums dives into self-reflection and meandering thinking while exploring themes of self-discovery and contemplation. The song captures a sense of otherworldliness while remaining anchored in reality, presenting listeners with a sonically immersive experience. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Stella Mozgawa, the music captures a band that is no longer preoccupied with validation and is focused on creating an album that reflects their artistic vision.
The amalgamation of Sophie McComish, Annabel Blackman, Cecil Coleman, and Wilkinson-Derums results in a blend of edgy riffs, moody post-punk elements, and ’60s pop influences. The album “Tally” uncovers the mystical essence of everyday life, explores the complexities of romantic relationships, and reflects on the ever-evolving nature of love. Despite the profound themes explored, Body Type manages to infuse wit and levity into their music, creating a dynamic listening experience.
In addition to the album release, the band is scheduled to embark on a UK and EU tour supporting Courtney Barnett later this year. Fans can anticipate a series of live performances that will further showcase Body Type’s musical evolution and creativity on stage. The album is available for pre-order, giving listeners the opportunity to delve into the band’s introspective and enigmatic musical journey.
As Body Type prepares to release “Tally,” their upcoming album under p(doom) Records, their journey towards artistic refinement and self-expression is evident. The band’s latest work not only exemplifies musical growth but also reaffirms their position as a leading force in the Australian music scene. With its captivating melodies, profound lyricism, and cohesive sound, “Tally” promises to be a testament to Body Type’s artistic maturity and unwavering dedication to their craft.
