The Heavenly Bodes Drop New Single & Video “Acting”

Cornish four-piece The Heavenly Bodes are set to release their sun-warped debut album, Green Hills, that is due out on July 3rd via Fuzz Club Records. The album was recorded on reel-to-reel tape in a friend’s living room between trips to the beach and features a collection of lo-fi garage-psych numbers that vary in feel, sometimes twisting and erratic, sometimes sedated and meandering, but all drenched in tape hiss and left out on the pebbles to dry. Green Hills represents salad-days dreams of escapism melting under the summer sun, evoking the clammy rooms from which they came. This week, The Heavenly Bodes present their new single Acting, a tumbling sun-bleached psychedelic pop offering sung by lead guitarist Fin.

“Acting is a song inspired by the face someone made when I excitedly told them I got a job as a cleaner. An erratic waltz recorded in just 37 takes, the accompanying video captures the sauna-like conditions from whence it came. Notice Alex’s eyes when he has to turn the fan off, waiting for the whirrs to subside.” (Fin)
