Bodies of Water Release Album, Tour North America

BY Josiah HughesPublished Jun 24, 2008

L.A.-based husband-and-wife duo Bodies of Water have prepped A Certain Feeling, their second full-length for the non-Canadian Secretly Canadian imprint. Due July 22, the release promises "the sound of a band carving out an ever-evolving, but distinct aesthetic niche for themselves. Steve Reich organ figures blend into a Wagner meets Sabbath riff. A shape-note choir is dropped into the midst of an Upsetters/ESG jam. Musique concrete meanderings beget Velvet Underground plodding that escalates into a five-time tropicalia workout.” Phew, that’s quite the mouthful.

To celebrate the release of the album, Bodies of Water will be hitting up some bodies of land on a North American tour that includes stops in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
