BODIES OF WATER
Ears Will Pop & Eyes Will Blink
Boomkat Product Review:
Bodies Of Water stem from the core double act of husband and wife David Metcalf and Meredith Arthur, who eventually set about forming a full band to perform with, ultimately resulting in this debut album, Ears Will Pop & Eyes Will Blink, a record released through the band's own Thousand Tongues label, and taken on for distribution by the reliably excellent Secretly Canadian. The vocal arrangements carry the band's principal sonic signature - their rousing four-way vocal arrangements. On tracks like 'Here Comes My Hand', Bodies Of Water come across as a less earnest Arcade Fire (another band based around a married couple), yelping and hollering a refrain en masse, creating a kind of evangelical choral setup. The songs themselves are firmly grounded in the purest of pop music, comparable to contemporary Scandinavian acts like The Concretes, or even less contemporary ones: 'Doves Circled The Sky' sounds more than a little like Abba, appropriating the dramatic Rachmaninoff-like piano chord stabs you'd hear on something like 'Dancing Queen'. Very nice indeed.
