Body Stuff Reveals Single “The World Is Yours” & Album Release Show With Today Is The Day
Body Stuff have released their new single “The World Is Yours,” and accompanying music video and announced an album release show.
NYC artist Curran Reynolds’ solo project, Body Stuff, has been described as “a hardcore Bruce Springsteen” (The Wire Magazine), “Springsteen fully embracing his Suicide influence” (Stereogum), and “a very New York City sound” (Decibel Magazine). Reynolds opts to call it, simply, “hard rock.”
Coming October 16th, sophomore album Body Stuff 5 brings the project to new depths and heights. Eight anthemic songs hum with longing and triumph. Big, slamming drum beats, seemingly echoing the boomboxes of NYC summers past, are peppered with storms of double-bass. Guitars, performed by Reynolds’ friend Andee Blacksugar (Blondie), ravage and glisten, transmitting from a place where hair metal and post-punk converge. The album was engineered and mixed by longtime Body Stuff collaborator Ryan Jones and mastered by Ted Jensen (Madonna, Metallica).
New single “The World Is Yours” is a driving, metallic rock song in which Reynolds recounts past travels.
He states:
“This is a song about travelling the world, playing in a band. When you’re on tour, the world shrinks. The outside becomes your home, and the unfamiliar becomes familiar. This song reminisces proudly on places seen and people met. London, Paris, Tallahassee … But the ego trip fades into the realization that everyone has their own story and they’re all of equal value. My story is one little part of the bigger story.”
Having played shows this year with Martin Rev, Swing Kids, and Dazzling Killmen, Body Stuff will return to the stage on October 9th for the Body Stuff 5 album release show (tickets) at TV Eye in Queens, New York, with Reynolds’ former band Today Is The Day also on the lineup.
