Body\/Head, the duo of Kim Gordon (CKM, Sonic Youth, Free Kitten, etc.) and guitarist Bill Nace (X.O.4, Vampire Belt, Ceylon Mange, etc), will release ‘No Waves’\u00a0on November 11th, 2016 on Matador Records.\u00a0 Recorded on March 24th, 2014 during Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN at the Bijou Theater, this high-quality live recording captures Gordon and Nace at peak chemistry, clearing pathways of possibility using great waves of amplification and voice, during the tour supporting 2013’s critically lauded ‘Coming Apart’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Instead of presenting “tracks” or “songs” from the record, this album should be considered a “moment,” one pinnacle set that was beautifully caught in time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
World-renowned artist and long-time friend of Gordon’s, Raymond Pettibon, has made an original piece of art for the cover of the album, which can be pre-ordered\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0or via the band’s\u00a0webstore<\/a>, which includes a vinyl & t-shirt bundle.<\/div>\n

Fans can experience Body\/Head’s incomparable improvisational performances at select New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Baltimore shows in November.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Body\/Head’s debut release for Matador Records, ‘<\/i>Coming Apart,’ was arguably the heaviest record of 2013 and received with open arms and blown minds across the world. The fact that a record steeped so heavily in non-traditional structures and improvisation could touch so many people was not a surprise to anyone who had seen Body\/Head in a live setting.\u00a0<\/i>No Waves\u00a0captures that raw improvisation and harnesses the power into a listening experience of pure, unmediated intensity.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The fire of improvisation is not the fire of the elements. Body\/Head deal in electricity, but they exist in the fire of improvisation. As such, they need to play live to sustain themselves. Call it the ontological necessity of a band working heavily with the flow of power (power flowing back and forth between the members of the band, flowing through band and audience, flowing through the mental and material planes, etc).\u00a0<\/i>No Waves, a document of this flow of power, offers a different side of the band they revealed on\u00a0<\/i>Coming Apart. Yes, some of the songs cross over in indefinable ways, but the live foundation of\u00a0<\/i>No Waves\u00a0brings all new energies to the fore. Everything reveals itself in the now.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of the pleasures of a live record is a chance for the listener to feel the music develop and unfold from a previously known departure point. This experience is magnified with Body\/Head due to the improvisatory basis of the band, which encourages new sounds and modes of communication with every show. We hear new vocal melodies developing, new attacks on strings, new clusters of intervals. It is the sound of sound evolving. Listening to\u00a0<\/i>No Waves, one can’t help feel that despite the title of their previous record,\u00a0<\/i>Coming Apart, we’re actually hearing Kim and Bill become one. Guitars and vocals flow into each as if played by a single creature. The sound of their evolution causes audiomorphic sensations. Two guitars or eight?\u00a0 Four hands or one?\u00a0 One voice or two?<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The live record also plays with orientation via its concentration on communication. Which way are you listening to it? \u00a0Listen once and hear certain forms. \u00a0Listen to the same part again and you may perceive new forms, like overhearing a game of telephone. With\u00a0<\/i>No Waves, Body\/Head adds a document to the library of classic live records that never exhaust themselves no matter how many times they are listened to. Musicians and groups such as Albert Ayler, High Rise, Van Morrison, Rudolph Grey, Bill Evans, Swans, etc. knew the unique possibilities of a live record that invites participation from the listener. \u00a0It’s the beauty of a path cleared at the moment it was recorded and for every moment to come. It’s Body\/Head doing what they do best – making the listener smile as they participate with the band in joyous, creative time. The \u00c9lan vital never rocked so hard.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
