Body Language — Matt Young, Ian Chang, Angelica Bess, Grant Wheeler — hail from New York City's best borough (that's Brooklyn, in case you didn't know). Having worked in the studio programming for the likes of Passion Pit, Theophilus London, Machinedrum and Fur, 2011 found the quartet further defining their own soulful, synthy sound. Their sublime singles collection, Social Studies , which is their followup to their 2009 debut, Speaks , ably displayed their ability to fire off dance-pop tunes like nobody's business. Let's hope there's more musical manna from this foursome in the new year. We [...]
It's that time of the year again and we've procrastinated till the last minute, but have no fear we've put together a list of our favorite 50 albums of 2011. This list reflects all of the Vagabonds that contribute throughout the year. We do our best to put it in to some sort of numerical order, but in the end all that matters is that we get to look back and recognize the music that has been soundtrack to our lives all year long. Below are our picks for numbers 50-40 we'll have another ten for you [...]
![Body Language – Social Studies [Lavish Habits/OM Records] (2011)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3890726_lg.jpg)
Body Language son un cuarteto de Brooklyn formado por Matthew Young, Angelica Bess, Grant Wheeler y Ian Chang, si bien a finales del año pasado editaron su primer EP, no ha sido hasta este año que han empezado a publicar su material en su propio sello Lavish Habits que cuenta con distribución del sello Om Records , y después de 3 EP (que han contado con grandes artistas para las remezclas, desde Plastic Plates, Tiger & Woods o Keep Shelly In Athens) el mes pasado publicaban su álbum de debut, un álbum de electro-pop dulce y [...]
There are occasions on Body Language's Social Studies album where they do, to use the vernacular, hit a groove that, were you to have heard it in a New York nightclub in the early 80s, you would have turned to your dance partner and uttered the immortal phrase: "Hey, this is really good, I'm going to find out who it is and buy it tomorrow on 12-inch." - The Guardian Body Language is a foursome from Brooklyn that has performed with Zero 7, Sia, Passion Pit, Little Boots, La Roux, School [...]
[mp3] Body Language: "Seeds of Sight" Body Language , who find themselves at the top of our CMJ to-do list, are streaming their new record / EP Social Studies this week at NPR in anticipation of its release next week on Lavish Habits / OM Records. There are more than a few familiar touchpoints to their sound, including the tired blogger-cliches such as "indie dance-pop" and "reverb-soaked" but at their core Body Language are breaking new ground. Behind this solid collection of singles, the Brooklyn [...]

Looking for a fun way to kick off your Monday? You might have just stumbled to the right place, as this constructionist jam from Body Language has really been doing wonders on my spirits. It's got a trickling little melody, with a bit of crafty pep that sort of lurks in and out of your speakers. This is the sort of thing that gets under your skin/soul, bringing about welcome changes in mood. If you dig what you're hearing you can grab this tune, and others, off the band's upcoming LP, [...]
Body Language nos vuelve a sorprender con "Seeds of Sight" rola que viene incluida en la nueva versión de su EP Social Studies que además incluye remixes de Plastic Plates, Keep Shelly in Athens y más. Aquí lo pueden conseguir. Enjoy. ♩ Body Language - Seeds of Sight
We first discovered Body Language back in '09 when our friends over at Neon Gold were touting the nostalgic "Huffy Ten Speed" and hosting DJ nights with them. Since then, the Brooklyn-based quartet has stepped out of the basement DJ booth and into the domain of full-fledged indie darlings. Their newest single, "Falling Out," is a catchy-as-hell "shifty disco about a shifty lady that stole my heart," according to front-man Matt Young. The clear vocal chemistry between Young and Angelica Bess lifts the track from good to fantastic from the outset. Grab the track below, and be [...]
Los chicos de Brooklyn sacarán su EP debut Social Studies el próximo 8 de Octubre, hoy nos regalan "Falling Out" una rola con toques disco perfecta para este viernes. A bailar! ♩ Body Language - Falling Out
Body Language are a indie poptronica outfit from Brooklyn, New York. Their sound is in a similar vein to Little Dragon. Sydney's Plastic Plates continues his solid streak of remix wizardry. He really is building an empire. This remix brings the tempo down to an even hundred beat slow-jam with tidy synth work and a funked-out bass line. Great stuff.

Technically, this isn't the first time we've posted on Plastic Plates' remix of Body Language's "Social Studies" here on ATG - you'll find it at the top of the Edwin Van Cleef mix Nicole wrote on the other week. But this jam is just too beautiful not to give it a post of its own. Given that half the remixes I come across seem to be some mindless house or dubstep reworking of a song, Plastic Plates' slick retro, electronic take on the track is all the more refreshing. See for yourself, and check out the original [...]
First of all just press play on this jam, take a break and kick it. This song is exactly what I needed today. I've been in Hollywood bumping nothing but big room electro, house and dance music for the last 3 days and man do I need a break from that. Dance music these is fantastic, every song is bigger than the next, the sound systems in clubs are mind blowing and DJs are the new supers stars. I love the big show more than anymore but that constant 130 BPM four on the floor will wear anyone [...]
Royal Baths - "After Death" The Sandwitches - "Joe Says" If you are at all familiar with DIY arts, crafts, or design, you probably know Kelly Malone , the creator of Indie Mart and Workshop SF . Malone has given a great deal to SF arts and culture, and now, faced with an advanced stage of cancer, she needs our help : This past April, Kelly was diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer that had spread to non-localized areas as [...]
This weeks post is most definitely longer than usual but it seems the amount of great music touching my ears these days is nearly impossible to keep up with. I can embrace that with a smile. Just think of this as a double post. Also: I got a confusing message last week telling me that I should include downloadable links to the songs I mention in my blog. Everyone learns at their own pace I guess. So to avoid the confusion the words in red are links to places where you can gets em on your computer for [...]
