Song(s) of the Day # 3,441 Body Type

 

Another day, another album by an Australian guitar band. Pleasingly though, this one comes from one from Sydney and not Melbourne. Body Types second record Expired Candy has a second track called Summer Forever, which seems appropriate given the time of year and the weather on the streets outside my window. And I'm living in Newcastle.

There's definitely some of Courtney Barnett's DNA here though it's more New Wave inclined than Velvets or Nirvana. Spanish band Hinds are also here in the effervescent, full on female vocal attack.

There's plenty of melodic variation on show here, Also change of pace. Summer Forever has heartache too. That's only right. Ask Sandy and Danny. Generally though it's a riot of colour.
