We’re excited to announce the 18th release on Marguerite Records: Body, the striking new album by .
Body took shape during a strange year, a time when the fabric of existence seemed to fray and shift—welcoming the cries of new beginnings even as others marked inevitable ends. The wails of arrival and departure harmonised in a single breath, tracing the fragile rhythm and fleeting significance of being. The album became my compass through this liminal space, an exploration of the body’s frailty and the mind’s enduring strength—a map of transitions charted through sound.
The track titles—Bladder, Larynx, Spleen, Trachea, Vertebra, Index Finger, Shank, Sphincter—assemble a fragmented anatomy, each piece a quiet witness to the mechanics of existence. These parts, uncelebrated and often unnoticed, bear the weight of our survival, tethering us to life’s ceaseless flow. Together, they chart the tension between fragility and resilience, control and surrender, function and decay—a somatic blueprint that mirrors the tenuous balance of our inner and outer worlds.
Each sound, from spring reverbs struck like percussion to broken mixers and unravelling tape loops, became part of this mosaic, chaotic yet intentional. The mournful cries of a dog longing for its absent companion added haunting textures, their rawness woven into the vocals and ambient layers. Roaring hums and banshee-like screams from analogue synths and filterbanks carried an emotional weight that felt both visceral and cathartic.
This is Body: a collection of disjointed yet connected moments. A reflection of how we are shaped not only by what we endure but also by what we release—and what we cling to. Finite and mortal, we carry burdens and histories that time erodes, even as the mind, unbound, reaches for something eternal. Ideas born in fading moments outlive their source, colliding with the noise of the present to become something both rooted and ever-changing.
