Body Type unveil new single "Buoyancy"

Australia's Body Type have delivered new cut "Buoyancy" as a second preview of their debut album Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising.

"Buoyancy" is Body Type's first outing since last month's lead single "Sex & Rage", and is, according to the band, about "grappling with internal inconsistencies and moral ambiguities in an incoherent style."

Body Type explain, ""Buoyancy" started as a playful text message exchange between Annabel and me. In many ways, the song is about grappling with internal inconsistencies and moral ambiguities in an incoherent style. It's had a few iterations - when I brought it to the group it had more of a slow Big Star spirit. Soph and Annabel made it more angular, more tongue in cheek with the guitar, which further injects the song with distorted meaning. It’s also a personal reminder that when certain things are rendered uncertain those you love are an eternal rudder."

Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising will follow Body Type's 2019 EP EP2, and is an entirely self-funded body of work recorded and mastered by Jonathan Boulet.

"Buoyancy" is out now. Body Type's debut album Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising will arrive via Poison City Records on 20 May, and is available to pre-order now.
