Brooklyn’s Body Language has always embodied something of a sensual mythos. Since their inception in 2008, the band (Angelica Bess, Grant Wheeler, Matt Young and Ian Chang) has been known for their restless pop experiments with a future-shocked blend of soul and R&B. The quartet has earned the approval of NPR to The New York Times to The Guardian.
Their new LP, Travel Guide, chronicles an itinerary in route through ten tracks of genre-bent psychedelic R&B. From writing the record on both coasts to slowly spreading themselves out beyond the limits of Brooklyn, NY, distance and wayfaring seems to hold no water to their force as writers, as they triumphantly deem this record to be their most collaborative effort yet. Dodging raindrops in their own personal paradise, and then ducking catcalls on the streets of Brooklyn, Travel Guide is an escape to many scenes in the day in the life of the trio. Here’s your passport, your bag and a little sunshine in a bottle, enjoy the trip.
