Sometimes when I get sick of these four walls, my head feels like gaga and my eyes appear to be triangled because of staring too long on this box full of pixels and bright little glow inside, I swoop for my car keys and go on a cruise. Last Saturday was such a day. So I was driving around and listened simply to the “Deutschlandfunk” (DLF) over my car radio which just broadcasted about several new record releases. One of these bands they spoke about, the Berlin based project Bodi Bill, caught me immediately - and that’s something I would call really uncommon.
To write about music is sometimes comparable to dance to modern architecture - kind of absurdity. And Bodi Bill doesn’t make it much easier for me to find words that measures up to ‘em. They’ve got such an huge repertoire of versatility and individualism, you shouldn’t try to pigeonhole ‘em unless you’ve got a very large “music-cabinet” with thousands of drawers inside.
Brute techno elements, bubbly beats, unobtrusive samples, varied selection of floating melodies, breaks of breathless suspense, virtuoso programming and innumerable inconspicuous gadgets are gathering around vocals that slide from spirit full of heaviness to impulsive and thrilling announcements of straightforwardness. These boys got the formula to combine truthful and sometimes very melancholic lyrics with also dance able beats that work. And so it could happen, that you leave one of their concerts with tearful eyes and totally all in a sweat at once.
One year after their considered debut album “No More Wars” Bodi Bill releasing its legal successor “Next Time” on Sinnbus Records. With a lingo even more concise and a pinpoint execution of their pleas and appeals, Bodi Bill up the ante with a delicate and charming, yet demanding masterpiece, contributing their share to the debate of our times.
Play ‘em on random loop - you will continuously find more and more delicacies inside of their tunes.
Let’s get into the Saturday with soft and gentle Zachary Lipkins, that got in touch with us last Friday, serving high-melodic, dramatic and heartrending tunes from his base in Long Island, discreet and glamorous like a perfect gentleman.
“While Juggling Cobras” is such a style of track sliding soft and slow into your ears and remind you, that you have been a child once upon a time and how easygoing life can be. This is something all tracks of Zach carry around with themselves. The other 3 come more concretely, up-and-down-tempoid with a lot of breaking behaviour and an armada of heartbreaking melodies, that deep touches you in your innermost being.
