Today the Montreal-based band Bodywash dropped their second album I Held the Shape While I Could via Light Organ Records.
The album is a brilliant blend of dreamy pop and alterna-shoegazey music with that Montreal vibe.
About the album by Bodywash
Over I Held the Shape While I Could’s twelve tracks, Steward and Long Decter reflect on their separate and shared experiences of losing a sense of place, the way something once solid can slip between your fingers, and their attempts to build something new from the fallout.
As they prepared to release their 2019 debut Comforter, Long Decter and Steward both experienced alienating shifts in their personal lives, leading to a mutual sense of dislocation.
They began writing new material that was darker, more experimental, and at the same time more invigorating than the soothing dream pop on Comforter.
The resulting I Held the Shape While I Could is a record that lives in the sonics of decay and renewal: breaks that burst forth from a squall of fuzz guitars, drones that glitch and stutter like ice willing itself to thaw.
