Post-punk art rockers Public Body have just announced their debut album, Big Mess, set for release June 9th via FatCat Records. The Brighton based quintet have been gathering a cult following with their vibrant live shows fresh with propulsive riffs, scorching guitars and sharp witty lyrics. Their brand new single ‘No Constraint‘ gives us a taste of things to come.
Fontman Seb Gilmore said, “This song is about a dream I had, where my friend Ted told me he didn’t want to be my friend anymore because I was getting too drunk and making a fool of myself. When I told him about this dream he told me that maybe I shouldn’t drink so much because I do make a fool of myself. I’ve been in the shame cube ever since.” Watch here:
Their 2022 hit ‘Reset My Password’ has had over two hundred thousand streams on Spotify.
Teaming with the cult alternative label, Public Body’s debut LP Big Mess is set to take a wry look at the sedentary, boring or frustrating aspects of modern life, with its world built from hypnotically repetitive bass-grooves, spidery guitar lines and violent synth stabs.
Detailing their upcoming record singer Seb Gilmore revealed: “Lyrically this album is self deprecating which is a tad embarrassing because I should probably just sort my life out rather than write a 10-song album about it! Anyway, the record was recorded using a 70’s Woolworths guitar amp and an old Yamaha drum machine. Tone is in the fingers dude”.
Public Body are readying their live show for a busy spring/summer period, having just completed a recent UK tour alongside label-mates TRAAMS, in addition to previous slots with The Cool Greenhouse, Uranium Club and Vintage Crop in recent times.
Public Body’s ‘No Constraint’ is available on all digital platforms and thier Big Mess album will be out on 9th June via FatCat Records.
