Body/Head LP
 

Right when I started to wonder when I would be getting my Body/Head LP the mail lady came to drop it off! I didn't think it would be out so quickly, especially since I didn't get any sort of confirmation or anything of my order.

The inside of the cardboard shipping box says
For Raffles
At 31
No Hippies!
Lili & Byron

Nice!

where did you order this from?

I saw the link a week ago i guess.
If you're in the US, just paypal Bill Nace $18, its billnace@gmail.com

ah yes I know Bill, played on the same bill with him recently! thanks!

No problem! If you see him again ask him to bring the experimental gang to Louisiana please!

Sure, I only see him on tour in my town...

Fusetron is selling both lps on the latest update.

So the Body/Head discog includes the 2 lps (1 w/Morley), cassette and 7".

How can I get ahold of the 7"?
--Edit--
I guess I missed it. :(

Some copies pop up pretty often on discogs:

i think I snagged the last copy from volcanic tongue, being limited and with the postage and currency, it was probably the most expensive single I've ever bought, but seemed necessary.

Now looking at the Howling Rain tour 7" but thats another thread...

The 7" - £9.99 + shipping (£1.50 UK, £3 Europe, £4 worldwide): http://www.infinite-limits.com/produ...nic-youth.aspx

i am personally shocked that raffles opted to recycle that particular mailer, which should have had great import for him. typical. there's another bit to the body/head discog, by the way. they have a track on the ultra eczema comp LP. "fever".

Matt Krefting's review of the Body/Head LP as posted on Mimaroglu:

body/head lp/ep

so much more than a ‘likely pairing,’ this is a group which manages to illuminate the best of both players while simultaneously pushing them into fresh territory. live shows have been accompanied by slowed films, and the pair’s obsession with cinema comes across in the music itself. the pieces exist as vignettes in and of themselves, all the while presenting a full-bodied emotional narrative over the course of the record’s 20 minutes.

it’s fascinating to hear nace and gordon develop these ideas, to hear relatively simple pulses, stabs, moans, and calls take shape as something almost like songs. there is a strange terror to this music. electric shards punch through and shatter the air. there is agonizing pain living in the guitars and genuine anguish in gordon’s voice. it is some of the most courageous and emotive singing of her career. this is some of the most fantastically elastic music currently being produced, shifting form and formlessness without batting an eye.

like the best art, it exists out beyond the limits of what we can easily define. it’s as pained as it is curious, as free as it is claustrophobic, full of spellbinding tension throughout, from the sparse opening of ‘turn me on’ to the intensely moving and breathtakingly sad closer, ‘where did you go?,’ a track that’s as good as anything either player has ever put to tape. it’s so scary and so sad, so tender and so angry, a consummate example of what both musicians are capable of, the capstone to a sequence so satisfying one wants to just play it again. the music changes shape with each listen, behind each shadow lives another melting perspective.

beautifully pressed at 45rpm, the fullness and depth of sound and feeling come through loud and clear. this record is a complete picture, a blurry pool at night, a short story to revisit over and over again.

Anyone know of any stores in nyc where this can be bought?
Update: They have it at Other Music. 2 copies remaining early this afternoon.

I got mine yesterday and love it, I've already played it about 10 times!

Picked this up on Friday along with the reissue of Sunn O))))) 00VOID album......annnnnndddddd

Finally got Chelsea WOlfe's LP at her show...

this record is toast, totally fried, its been awhile since I've heard such an utterly blasted soundtrack...



or maybe its just me

does anyone know how limited body/gate/head was? that is like the crown jewel right now for me, I need to get my hands on it. body/head is emerging as my favourite post-SY project, I think Kim's the first to really push herself artistically (in spite of my enjoyment of Chelsea Light Moving thus far and BTTATT)

I have beenloving this release since I got it on vinyl a few weeks ago.

But yeah I totally agree, she's definitely produced the most interesting post-sy record so far. I did enjoy some tracks from Lee's last year especially Xtina but some of it to me sounded like some subpar sonic youth. Still Chelsea light moving is sounding promising.

me too, totally agree about kim creative and brave to do somethong more ''deep'', but sincerely i not waiting a 'wohoo' about thurs/chelsea.

That is well said - really true - I think this was limited to 300 - contact Feeding Tube records or maybe fusetron or eclipse in the US...

If this track is an indication of what's on the LP, I will be kicking myself for missing out on this record. Really great stuff. Off to Discogs.

body/gate/head LP is edition of 300. can still get it from feedingtuberecords.com

For the LP on Open Mouth, get yerself over to Volanic Tongue.

brilliant, thanks heaps. shipping is an absolute bitch to get it out to Aus though, shit...

Is anyone else a little surprised by how awesome this Body/Head album turned out to be?

No, I'm not surpriesed because all the Body/Head releases are awesome.

Got Body/Gate/Head in the post this morning....It's the best SY related thing I've heard in 10 years!

:) true.

Body/Head are playing a Pitchfork-curated show in Brooklyn, June 13, at St. Vitus Bar, as part of the Northside Festival.

(I assume they have messed up the year)
