At A Loss Recordings have confirmed an collaborative full-length release between Rhode Island’s apocalyptic noise/doom duo THE BODY and North Carolina’s orchestral/drone rock harbingers BRAVEYOUNG.
With both bands having already performed live together multiple times, including a mini-tour earlier this year where the members of both THE BODY and BRAVEYOUNG performed collaborative material live in several cities of the tour, the time came for the bands to unite their sonic crafts together on tape. After a collaborative recording session at Providence’s Machines With Magnets (Battles, Daughters, Lightning Bolt, Chinese Stars) earlier this year, the end result has surfaced as Nothing Passes, a layered but cohesive voyage through cavernous, noise-laden tumult and chaos, ethereal horror-soundtrack creepouts and even serene acoustic passages, exploring new styles for both acts. The album also features vocal contributions from members of The Assembly Of Light Choir who have also previously collaborated live with THE BODY and BRAVEYOUNG, as well as a cover of Exuma’s song, The Vision.
At A Loss will release Nothing Passes worldwide on September 27th in CD and digital formats, with the vinyl pressing due early in 2012.
Nothing Passes Track Listing:
1. Song One
2. Song Two
3. Nothing Passes
4. The Vision
In support of the upcoming release, THE BODY and BRAVEYOUNG are putting the final touches on a month-long tour across our nation. THE BODY kick things off in Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus Bar on September 6th, en route to meet up with BRAVEYOUNG in Greensboro, North Carolina to begin their collaborative tour. THE BODY will take a night off from the tour on September 9th to take part in North Carolina’s three-day Hopscotch Festival, where they will join Earth, Liturgy and Whatever Brains on stage at King’s Barcade, with over 150 additional artists appearing at the massive event. From there the tour will continue clockwise through the South and Southwest, up the West Coast and then back through the Midwest and Southeast.
