Sustained, paradoxically gentle bursts of bright cycling melodic tones fused with the sound of bell tones counting time in a drawn out shimmer are the backbone of “Over an Old Road” by The Bodies Obtained. Sure maybe the project takes its name from a line from Joy Division’s “Day of the Lords” but this track sounds like some demented, broken library music sourced mash-up that brings together distorted haze and sharp, metallic sounds like music you might imagine an animated version of Dali’s melted clocks to make if they had somehow attained sentience the way Voyager I did in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It’s strange stuff that wouldn’t be out of place on Warp Records and fans of that label’s more challenging outer edge stuff should give this song a try. Listen to “Over an Old Road” on Spotify and follow The Bodies Obtained on Soundcloud.
