The Body Share New Single and Announces New Album


The Body have announced a new album, due out in January of 2021. I’ve Seen All I Need To See will release on January 29th, 2021 via Thrill Jockey, and the group has shared their sick new single, “A Lament”. The album is also live to pre-order now! Typically, their albums feature a bevy of guests, but this album is just the core due on every track. Sure to be one of the most talked-about albums of early next year, jam “A Lament” right now.

The album was mastered in the UK by Matt Colton (Aphex Twin, New Order, Sunn O))), Sumac). The clarity and the cacophony exceed anything The Body have created before, morphing desolate, festering soundscapes into an exhilarating sonic universe. I’ve Seen All I Need To See is a groundbreaking work and an ecstatic listen.

On harnessing the album’s unique approach to distortion, recording engineer Seth Manchester comments, “It’s a meditation on distortion. We tried pushing the limits of each piece of gear in the studio to hear what its breaking point sounded like and then recorded it – even feeding the console back on itself during one particular live take.”

Mastering engineer Matt Colton adds, “The distortion has this ability to envelope you, and not push you away. It has this strange kind of beautiful timbre…once you give into the sheer power of it, and let it take you on a ride then it becomes this whole other kind of sonic experience.”
