Following feverish anticipation, release day has arrived for Body Type’s debut album, Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising. With the release, the band have announced a set of national headline shows to celebrate.
In the wake of back-to-back tours and releases, Sophie McComish, Annabel Blackman, Cecil Coleman, and Georgia Wilkinson-Derums regrouped in early 2020, to record their debut album in eight days – shortly before they would become separated by the pandemic. Recorded and mastered by Jonathan Boulet, and entirely self-funded, the album is exultant, effusive, playful, cutting, and maybe most significantly, incandescent in its fury.
Born from a desire to bottle their restlessness that rose in wake of stifled creativity, of Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising‘s making, the band reveal, “We were coming out of a period that felt quite suffocating and restrictive. We just kind of regrouped and re-energised and did it ourselves” says Sophie. Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising sees the dawn of a new world for Body Type, regenerated through their sound, live show and sense of selves.
