Words: Sam Geary
Bristol's Some Bodies now have a brand new video for ‘TV Show’, their latest single, out now via Funnel Music.
The clip is a surreal VHS fuzzed-out piece which features an array of colorful characters and one iconic dog.
The track itself takes a killer krautrock riff, effortlessly intertwining it with ethereal dream-pop breakdowns.
"'TV Show' is a pretty obvious song thematically. It's a lot less cryptic than most tunes we do; with fairly brazen lyrics. It's observing the weaponisation of trivial gestures in the pursuit of some strange fame," says guitarist and writer Fred Hickey.
"Features of being a normal nice person are now worn like badges of honour and buying a coffee is worthy of screaming from the digital rooftops. At the time we wrote it the world really felt like a big casting call with the allure of shiny stardom causing us all to scratch at the stars. I guess we just turned that into a video. There's no rhyme or reason as to why the characters in the video are doing what they're doing because it doesn't seem like there's a good reason for us all to be doing it in the 'real' world.”
