The 16-track album, simple shapes is progressive and punchy with plenty of lush percussive guitars, synth, and fun grooves in the drums. The simple pleasures in life are captured on “smilin” and the internal conflict of wanting to do something dangerous yet exciting on “miracle” encapsulates the album’s energy. The search for consistency on '"tiger balm (magenta)” is finding that relationship balance and the self-love that can sometimes feel superficial on “husky brown.”
About slenderbodies:
slenderbodies first emerged in 2016 with their mesmerizing eight-track EP, sotto voce taking its name from an Italian phrase meaning to speak softly but with emphasis. Recorded remotely with guitarist Benji Cormack living in Santa Cruz and singer/guitarist Max Vehuni residing in Los Angeles, the collection quickly caught fire on Spotify, where it racked up millions of streams without any label or radio support. The next year, the pair returned with a second EP, fabulist, which launched their following into the stratosphere as lead single “anemone” garnered more than 30 million plays across platforms. The duo soon found themselves on stage in front of massive crowds around the world, sharing bills with the likes of Mura Masa, Passion Pit, PVRIS, Milky Chance, and also performing at Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza. Their last EP, Soraya, examined the powerful impact of all the influential women in their lives and amassed nearly ten million streams. Soraya held true to all the elements that brought the falsetto-loving duo to acclaim since their debut song “anemone” racked up over 20 million streams. The Line Of Best Fit proclaimed that slenderbodies “conjure an immersive world” with their “genre-blurring” music, while Complex described their songs as “subtle but infectious,” and Billboard praised their “intimacy” and “daring.”
