Today the Montreal-based band Bodywash dropped the music video for “Come and Go” via Light Organ Records.
“Come and Go” sees the band step away from their usual dreamy shoegaze sound in favour of a noisier alt-pop/rock direction.
The track still carries Bodywash’s hazy atmosphere, but this time it’s wrapped in fuzzed-out guitars, punchier hooks, and a sharper edge that gives it an immediate jolt of energy.
About the track by Rosie:
“I wrote ‘Come and Go’ mostly in one go at home, improvising on vocal and bass, and then I brought it to Chris, playing it for him on guitar in the studio,” Rosie explains.
“Normally I write on keys and make a demo, and he helps flesh it out, or vice versa. But after our last album we wanted to try writing more in the room together.
As we played through the song together, and Chris wrote the riff, it came together really quickly in a shared burst of energy that’s only really possible in-person. The song itself is really influenced by the built environment of Montreal—the forty auto route, the new buildings popping up around the University de Montreal campus, this crazy animal-themed light show in Laval.
It describes scenes I’ve shared with my girlfriend and my bandmates here, and the sort of temporary or transitory feeling that comes with living as an artist in Montreal, or anywhere really—the sense that there could always be an end date on the horizon.”
