Between the plodding stop-and-go riffs and frontman Andrew Laumann's Phil Anselmo-style grunts, much is heavy about Baltimore residents Dope Body . And on the quartet's latest full-length, the Drag City debut Natural History, they improve just about every facet of last year's Nupping , juxtaposing tighter musicianship and a sleeker ear for melody while retaining the intensity that's made them an archetype for sweaty-basement fuzz. The five-minute second track "Road Dog", near the end, takes a tangential trip to tropical-punk where delayed guitars offer a literal change of pace after the bracing first passages. [...]
1. Dope Body - "Lazy Slave" (The Baltimore-based 4-piece create a spastic and sludgy brand of post-punk that incorporates noisy guitar outbursts, crazed vocals and off-kilter groove-orientated rhythms for a unique sound like Henry Rollins fronting the Melvins on their sophomore album Natural History out now on Drag City.) http://www.dopebody.info/ Download: http://www.pitchperfectpr.com/ mp3/LazySlave.mp3 2. JBM - "Winter Ghosts" (Brooklyn singer-songwriter Jesse Marchant possesses a haunting and engaging voice not unlike Bon Iver and the wind-whipped, desolate sonics [...]
A chorus of strong female voices top this week's list of new releases, none more promising than that of young London-via-Ontario singer-songwriter Al Spx, a.k.a. Cold Specks , whose head turning debut, as our Music Director, Don Yates, describes, is "a powerful, emotionally moving set of gospel-steeped folk-pop with a dark, hushed sound featuring muted guitars and solemn piano along with occasional strings, horns and choral backing singers accompanying her velvety, deeply soulful vocals and spiritually brooding lyrics." Singer/actress Aleksa Palladino ramps up the intensity with her Devon Church, as Brooklyn duo Exitmusic makes good on the [...]

Cerca de um ano após o lançamento de Nupping , que na altura foi alvo de destaque num dos nossos podcasts, os norte-americano Dope Body assinam pela prestigiada Drag City. Um reconhecimento maior que toma forma física através da edição do novo álbum Natural History , agendada já para dia 22 de maio. Será prematuro tecer previsões, mas pelo single Weird Mirror , a banda continua a explorar o melhor punk-rock desconstrutivista possível em 2012. Por lá poderão encontrar-se alguns ecos de iluminárias como The Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth ou Melvins. "Hey, lose control! Get lose. If [...]

MP3 Dope Body drops yet another track from its forthcoming LP, Natural History . "Weird Mirror" is a fantastic piece of subtly reverbed punk-effing-rock. No prisoners. Break a sweat. Put someone in a headlock. The riff on this thing has an incredible amount of force behind it. The drums hit hard, and the vocals are enthralling as well. Everything about this song says, "Hey, lose control! Get lose. If you break something, whatever." Hear another track from this album, which I put on the Loved List earlier this month . [...]
There's nothing better than our Weekly Download . It's great. You get to peek inside our inbox and listen to songs we like and we were emailed by the bands themselves. Without further ado....

We've also go a budding group who may have one of the shortest band names out there... AU . And their equally [...]

Bueno, pues en un abrir y cerrar de ojos la informacion comenzo a correr a una velocidad facilmente comparable con este segundo adelanto que Drag City acaba de regalarnos del proximo album de estudio de este cuarteto de Baltimore llamado Dope Body el cual decidio poner en la portada del disco los rostros de cada uno de sus integrantes con colores que les vinieran perfectamente mal como los ruidos que llegan a provocar con sus guitarras como el inicio de este track titulado "Weird Mirror" y si, el titulo de esta cancion puede describir a la perfeccion tanto [...]
MP3 A track from the forthcoming Dope Body album, Natural History , which will be out on May 22nd via Drag City Records . "Lazy Slave" is pretty heavy listen. Dope Body sure does love its riffs and its low-end frequencies. However, the quartet presents something that's far from metal. On this particular track, Dope Body's energy is much more akin to that of punk and psychedelic rock. I have no clue where the eccentric, high-pitched shrieks are coming from, though. Oh, that must just be a bit of the [...]
