Duo Lee Buford and Chip King have established their own musical language that reimagines how rhythm, dynamics, and sonics can shape or dismantle song structure. Over the course of two decades, the duo has consistently challenged assumptions and defied categorization, redefining what it means to be a heavy band. On their new album, The Body are again pushing limits and testing the boundaries of the studio to explore the extremes and microtonality of distortion to find its maximal impact. Ive Seen All I Need To See is The Body at their most incisively bleak, a towering monolith of noise.BIG|BRAVEs preternatural instincts and depth of skill as musicians are on full display on their most naked and austere record to date, OST. The trio entered the studio with broader concepts and themes in mind, but no preconceived music. The overarching concept was to make a film score for a film that had yet to be created, to use minimal instrumentation, or more specifically not their standard band instruments, and to improvise within these parameters. Although this record could stand on its own, we envisioned it being paired with moving images, which introduced a fresh and exciting way of working, notes guitarist Mathieu Ball. In addition to forgoing their usual instrumentation, they notably built their own. Ball created a stringed instrument using piano strings simply called The Instrument. This instrument ended up becoming a central figure to the OSTs sound. Guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie adds: The strings Mathieu used for his instrument came from a discarded piano thatch that had been laying around in the hallway of my tattoo studio for ages. The Instruments presence is felt throughout the record as a conductive element amplifying the albums earthly, grounded nature.
