The Body and OAA Announce Collaborative Album 'Enemy of Love'

Hear first single "Barren of Joy" with Full of Hell's Dylan Walker

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Jan 6, 2022

After getting together with Big Brave for Leaving None but Small Birds last year, the Body have laid plans for another collaborative album. With producer OAA (a.k.a. AJ Wilson), the experimental metal outfit will deliver Enemy of Love on February 18 via Thrill Jockey.

Prior to Enemy of Love, the Body and OAA came together on the former's 2019 anniversary release Remixed, for which the producer reworked the duo's "Adamah." Now, their forthcoming 10-track release collects "excavations at the nexus of electronic, noise, and heavy music."

First single "Barren of Joy," which features a guest vocal appearance by Dylan Walker (Full of Hell, Sightless Pit), is below for a glimpse of what those sound like.

The Body have also mapped out a North American tour, which they'll kick off in May following Enemy of Love's release. A pair of Canadian dates will first bring them to Montreal's Sala Rossa on May 24, ahead of Toronto's Baby G on May 25.

Last year, the Body also released I've Seen All I Need to See.
