Body/head at Solar Myth

About

In their liner notes for Body/Head’s 2016 album The Switch, writer/musician Jes Skolnick referred to the duo as “experimental sorcerers of significant renown.” If anything, that might be an understatement; Bill Nace (X.O.4, Vampire Belt, Ceylon Mange, etc.) and Kim Gordon (CKM, Sonic Youth, Free Kitten, etc.) are both revered as reshapers of the electric guitar tradition, conjuring visionary sounds from the abrasive to the hallucinatory. Over the course of the last decade their collaboration has morphed between dreamlike drones, corrosive improvisatory excursions and abstracted songs, at once cohesive, compelling and unpredictable.
