Bodies Of Water - Ears Will Pop and Eyes Will Blink [CD]

The band's first full-length record and first from their own Thousand Tongues label. The songs are engaging and memorably crafted, drawing on a mixture of traditional; the transcendent intensity of gospel, the brutish gusto of punk rocking, the earnest idiosyncrasy of American folk, the sonic inclusiveness of tropical, the planned jamming of prog, and the sincere bombast of musical theatre. Bodies of Water have added an auxiliary corps of musicians that can swell to as many as eleven; hitting, blaring, strumming, and bowing away, but the four core member's vocal synchronicity remains the group's hallmark.
