Bodies of Water has somehow managed to make music that sounds nostalgic and modern at the same time—drawing comparisons to everything from Arcade Fire to Fleetwood Mac —but all with their own distinct sound. Open Rhythms.mp3 Bodies of Water - Open Rhythms Download read more

Being a Bodies of Water fan feels like a secret society. Meeting those who share the same enthusiasm and passion for the LA based married couple's God sent talents ignites instant conversation and camaraderie. In turn, it also leaves you wondering, why are they not more popular? I imagine that ninety percent of the people reading this review will at least have heard of Bodies Of Water. I mean, you're reading TLOBF. You must have taste. But think about the masses that shot Arcade Fire to US number one, or the amount of critical and popular [...]

Los Angeles husband and wife duo Bodies of Water released their third LP together, Twist Again , this past July on their own Thousand Tongues label. David and Meredith Metcalf's music is a sophisticated and classic brand of pop colored with bursts of organ, brass, strings, well-positioned punches of electric guitar, and the couple's own charming vocal harmonies. Despite the LP's Chubby Checker reference, you'll be hard-pressed to find any listeners Twisting to the darkly meditative "One Hand Loves The Other" or the soft psychedelia of "Open Rhythms." But that's not to say these songs [...]

Last week Bodies of Water made their new album Twist Again available for limited free download via their website, but don't fret if you didn't manage to get it in time, as you can still stream the entire record online. Twist Again , is LA band Bodies of Water's third full-length release, and it is an assuredly confident affair, spanning a variety of musical styles. David Metcalfe's noir-baritone sounding at times strikingly similar to that of Nick Cave, in both tone and delivery, especially on 'New Age Nightmare'. [...]

Maintaining a unique identity in an indie scene that has become increasingly commercialized is an art form in and of itself, and one in which Bodies of Water is most proficient. The core of Bodies of Water is comprised of married couple, David and Meredith Metcalf. Their effortless chemistry, complemented by the talents of accompanying horn players and drummers, gives the band an easy likeability. Their latest release, "Twist Again," never tries to hard, professing, above all, a heartfelt, earnest charm, sprinkled with a soulful sobriety. Bodies of Water is at its best when its music [...]

Grab some tissues, because your ears are about to blow a load. I am pleased to present to you The Indie Sabbath -back in full force- more refreshing than an ice-cold soda in the middle of the desert. It's been 4 long weeks for me down in Joplin, MO. Yes, my work there took away from the Sabbath and my contributions to Earmilk in general- but if I could go back and do it all again I wouldn't change a thing. Music doesn't go away- if you keep your ears open it will find you. For me, music is the [...]

O Rock'n'Beats está sempre de antenas ligadas, com o radar funcionando, não só apontando pra bandas já consagradas no indie mundial, mas também pra aquelas que não têm espaço na mídia. Por isso, semanalmente, vamos falar aqui sobre algumas dessas bandas que você deveria ouvir, mas provavelmente deixou passar, porque a mídia especializada também deixou passar.

MP3: Bodies of Water - Mary, Don't You Weep Mary, don't you weep, oh Martha don't you moan Sheri, don't you cry, oh Laura don't you groan At the end of time, when your family's dead You will have the one you love instead When I saw Bodies of Water at Skully's in Columbus in the summer of '08 (above), I was most astounded by how such a giant voice could come from the tiny body of Meredith Metcalf. Touring on the Secretly [...]

The utterly mesmerising opening track to Bodies of Water's new album 'Twist Again'. Carefully constructed and artfully considered, it tentatively meanders through a hazy cloud of delicate vocals and ambiguous lyrics. Core band members David and Meredith feed off one another throughout the track, recorded in their notorious self-constructed home studio, the end result is an era-less concoction of musical brilliance.
