Can you place it On the shelf there Right up next to The body of the lord? When you feel his Hands around you You will never Want him to let you go Oh yeah you need help? What can you do for me? Bloody wings and bone Give it up, everything Don’t you feel clean? Give it away Feels good to obey When you say I’m here for myself I’m here for myself And I don’t want the life ...but to you keep it tight Either way, it's alright Now

When I saw you there Floating on your hair Pleasure in your face I gave me the space Earthquake, eyes shake, feel my bones break... And when i wake I know that I will see the sun again With everything there’s beauty in the end And one day maybe you will be my friend When the night hits again we’ll be faded away If you are what you feel then you have me to stay

Alias 02:22
I’m not inside myself I feel it in my gut How can you love yourself Without this in your blood? Everybody knows the masters on his toes Help me help you, oh Now I know just what I gotta do I know who you are now alias Are you beside yourself? Do you feel me in your gut? When you can’t simply be That silence sleeps with me Everybody knows the masters on his toes Help me help you, oh Now I know just what I gotta do I know who you are now alias

Hard Drive 03:21
I drive, but I don’t know why Wasting time, and i can’t see the signs... To your place There is an empty space As tears roll down my face Days, they go on and on Waking up, used to be with me… Not with him But i can’t help but grin New love will begin again Words get lost Leave my mouth Leave my thoughts Leave my house

Faith Caught 02:31
How far do you think you could throw me? Smiles fall, trust is splattered on the wall Love is in the little things Hit me back, silence is a heart attack Minutes fall like drops of rain There’s no pleasure, there’s no pain I’m alright Every moment feels the same Only good when I’m insane I’m satisfied I played around until I went back to my cave The wild cowboy who’s too stupid to be brave It's so easy to get lost Get what I want at what cost? Losing time and losing nerve We all get what we deserve

Sonic Bloom 03:49
The darkness chokes me in my sleep Is there another way? I’m sweating like a dog in heat Tell me if I should stay I’ll come around I know the sound When I’m at home Throw me a bone I smell you from a mile away The stubborn scent of rose I know I need new clothes I’ll come around I know the sound When I’m at home Throw me a bone I don’t need you I don’t want to Want to need you Everything’s okay Feels good to obey
8.
Always There 03:18
Who couldn’t say they saw this coming? Unfinished tapestry as string on the floor When every single person we looked up to Only looked out for themselves in the end Eyes burn out of your skull, your skull I would like to speak to your leader There seems to be a disconnect on the wire Every time I try and be a hero The world spits me right back out Eyes burn the back of my skull, my skull

about

Full Body own their name. The Rochester, NY quartet play a robust breed of gangly rock music that lurches in the intersection between impatient slowcore, gnarled shoegaze, and noisy post-hardcore. The band introduced their dynamically sensitive appeal on their ambitious 2017 debut, What’s Good?, a record that threaded needly guitar licks through a thick fabric of bashing drums and distinctly scratchy vocals. Their highly anticipated follow-up, Always There, is a level up in every conceivable category. Jack Chaffer’s tornado-like drumming is even gustier; the guitar parts bounce excitedly between jerky math-rock and stormy bursts of shoegaze; the bass tones are absolutely crushing; and Dylan Vaisey’s pacific, drawn-out croons wrap around the erratic compositions, preventing Full Body from ever losing their own limbs amidst the chaos.

Artists like Elliott Smith, Pixies, and perhaps most of all, Pile, are fair reference points. The track “Hard Drive” ascends the way Pile’s beloved “Prom Song” does; a slow-burning bonfire that the band decides to toss fireworks (a piercing guitar lead) in during its final quarter, just to keep things dangerous. The loping opener “Small Voice” introduces Vaisey’s long-winded singing style, which he uses to carry out notes for surprisingly long stretches of time—in comparison to his bandmates, who shift constantly with a delightful impatience. “Bad Screen” features a scampering drum machine, some Blue Smiley-esque (psychedelic shoegaze) pedal effects, and a disorientingly chopped-up audio sample that makes for a fascinating palette cleanser.

But the sub-two-minute cut is followed by the standout “Sonic Bloom,” a cacophonous blend of everything they do best. As it ends, Vaisey is singing the words, “Everything’s okay,” with a relaxed, even relieved delivery as his vocals are getting sucked into the mix and the whole song is vacuuming up into a ringing synth outro. That brief moment of serene respite sees Vaisey reassuring both himself and his listeners that the engrossing mayhem that Full Body emit is right where he wants to be. You should join them.
