As somber as the fog, intoxicating as jasmine. A near fable of fear,\u00a0sexuality, war, religion, technology, peace, philosophy, hedonism, sociology, evolution, and ecclesiasticism. Like a whisper on a vinyl record from 1952. &#8216;Alice&#8217; is open with dilated pupils. Flushed with passion, under soft lit words. A dance hall in the jungle, interrupted by the thunderous disease of the contemporary man. &#8216;Alice&#8217; is no religion, but may be seen as one. &#8216;Alice&#8217; is no person, no god. &#8216;Alice&#8217; is an idea, a feeling, covered in pink lace. Alice is a message, a hidden commentary of modern day, bathed in fantasy, abounding in ecstasy, feeling colors. Feminine in nature, torrid fantastic emotion, unique and tangible. A stinging kiss on a crisp November night.<\/p>\n<p>Meatbodies\u00a0return ascending towards ground level bringing us\u00a0&#8216;ALICE&#8217;. A &#8220;heavy-pop&#8221; concept, metal on molly.\u00a0Chad Ubovich, Patrick Nolan, and\u00a0Kevin Boog\u00a0step out in new form, souring through diverse stories, tones, and characters. Dancing between quiet and loud, funk and doom. pop and noise. Their messages preached celestial and deafening, a sacred scripture for today&#8217;s world. A warbling rhodes piano, a liquifying electric guitar, a ghostly synthesizer skating across the sands of a 12 stringed acoustic. Meatbodies dig deep into the rich soils of earth to reveal the chaotic sensual vibrations underneath the fields we walk upon. Connecting our limbs, our mouths, our consciousness to the microcosms of the grime, all while being lit by black light.<\/p>\n<p>Captured wriggling and alive in San Francisco by\u00a0Ubovich\u00a0and\u00a0Eric Bauer at\u00a0The Bauer Mansion.\u00a0&#8216;ALICE&#8217;\u00a0is a step in a new direction.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1383.photobucket.com\/albums\/ah284\/spencermotormouth\/Meatbodies-Alice-Album-Art_zpsmh9rcugj.jpeg?resize=353%2C348\" width=\"353\" height=\"348\" name=\"Image1\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nTrack list<\/h5>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">1.
