Body Language Share 'Boomerang' Via American Songwriter  Image

Today, Brooklyn-based pop group Body Language share "Boomerang", the third single from their upcoming LP Travel Guide, out October 9th on Om Records. A shimmering ballad, Body Language infuse trance-inducing house rhythms and R&B harmonies behind vocals that dive into the cyclical nature of relationships.

American Songwriter debuted the track, noting "just when Body Language thought they'd never pull free, everything launches into an uplifting beat, dipping into its infectious chorus of You'll be my boomerang / Sooner than you think." Indie 88 also featured the track, praising how "the energetic new tune revolves around a pulsing beat and silky vocal lines alongside dreamy synths that are sure to get you dancing."

Travel Guide will be released October 9th on Om Records.

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's debut 2010 LP Social Studies earned the approval of everyone from NPR to The New York Times to The Guardian, who compared the breakout release to early Madonna, the indie disco of Prelude Records and "CSS doing an impression of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band."

On their 2013 sophomore release, Grammar, Body Language dug deeper into electronic-pop territory and garnered the hit 'Well Absolutely' that went on to be featured in an advertising campaign for Lord & Taylor and earned multiple licenses w/ HBO, Google and LG plus noteworthy support from Sirius XM.

Their 2016 follow-up release Mythos, continued to showcase their intimate music with lyrics of longing, desire and lost love. Oftentimes dark and moody, Mythos pushed forth feelings of desire against ominous backdrops only to quickly veer back into the familiar and comforting.

Their forthcoming 2020 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 seem 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.
