You've already heard their shimmering lead single "Eye to Eye", and today, Montreal's Bodywash share the glorious, tone-setting opener from their resplendent debut LP Comforter, coming soon on Luminelle...
Patrick Waites shot our favorite band at their GvsB co-presented show over the weekend at the Mohawk in Austin:
We're beyond psyched and proud to announce the signing of Montreal band Bodywash, the project of songwriters Rosie Long Decter + Chris Steward, to Luminelle Recordings. The group's beautiful debut full-length, on the horizon for later this year, is one of the most elegantly dreamy and intoxicating albums we've heard in quite some time, a timeless but undeniably modern union of swelling and emotionally moving dream-pop, indie rock, and shoegaze buoyed by exquisitely shimmery electronic elements, recalling everything from You Forgot It In People and vintage Souvlaki-era Slowdive to classic '90s IDM and trip-hop...

As we patiently await their new record Oncle Jazz, our favs Men I Trust share their own "new favorite song from the upcoming album", the pillowy, silky-smooth (and low-key funky as ever) heartbreaker "Numb". Listen below + grab the track now on bandcamp:
