Portland heavy music explorers the Body make a whole lot of music with a whole lot of other artists. After releasing collaborative records with Dis Fig and Intensive Care over the last couple of years, the Body have unveiled their latest team-up. It's called Whole Wide World, and it brings them together with Cel Genesis, an Oakland group that specializes in abrasive electronic music.
The Body and Cel Genesis came up with the idea of Whole Wide World while touring together, and they assembled the record over a couple of years, with both live and programmed drums. The six-minute lead single "Candy Crush" is significantly less soothing than the act of playing Candy Crush. It starts out as a cacophony of shrieking vocals and ominous drones before a slamming rave beat kicks in. Check it out below.
