We’ll say it folks. Our feeling is that in the NYC scene these days too many indie bands are playing it either too safe, or too… unsafe? There’s just so much garage rock and ’90s revival (on one hand) and insane/unstructured noise (on the other) anybody can deal with. It’s time to mix things up a little! Brooklyn’s Show Me the Body is a rare example of a band that’s successfully exploring new sonic avenues without losing sight of song structure. Their sound marries the darkest trip hop a la’ Tricky with post punk, noise rock and sludge metal impulses. We dug their ‘One Train‘ single from last year, and find the more recent one entitled ‘Space Faithful’ (streaming) as compelling. If you are brave enough to experience this noisy trio live, don’t miss their upcoming show at Palisades on July 10.
