about

From deep under the Stockholm streets come two new independent releases from the somewhat enigmatic Body in the Thames

the Motor / Muscle / Movement EP kicks off with the title track – a 120bpm contemporary machine-funk workout replete with sub bass, arpeggiated analog synths, guitar chops and cowbells. A striding and cocksure dance track with an ever-so-slightly sinister undertone and plenty of machismo overtones. Think Daniel Avery ft. Nile Rogers signed to DFA and aiming at a mid-Atlantic dancefloor full of borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80s of electro-afro-futurism – only, a little more understated than that (no big shoulder pads)

Jones Terrace follows – also at 120 bpm – with even more arpeggiated analogue synths, this time wrapped in a fuzz of filtered and delayed distant radio waves that break into a jittery, skittery (but somehow still relaxed) groove that never quite settles down but never quite loses control either. This one is reminiscent of other Scandinavian cosmic disco (Todd Terje/Lindström et al) but also nods in the direction of Caribou, Boards of Canada, John Carpenter and the Deus Ex soundtrack.

Whereon but to believe is horror !
Whereon to meditate engendereth
Even in deathless spirits such as I
A tumult in the breath,
A chilling of the inexhaustible blood ... more
