The first single off Body Type’s long-awaited debut album Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing's Surprising begins with a plea: “Set me aflame with sex and rage!” It’s a rousing call for exuberance and exhilaration, in the face of banality and boredom; fittingly named after writer Eve Babitz’s cult novel Sex and Rage. Like Babitz’s prose, the album is exultant, effusive, playful, cutting, and maybe most significantly, incandescent in its fury. It’s an album all about yanking back control, embracing abandon and purging despair, told through the ragged margins of rock and punk.
Recorded swiftly over eight days in early 2020, just before the Australian band (comprised of Sophie McComish, Annabel Blackman, Cecil Coleman and Georgia Wilkinson-Derums) would be separated by the pandemic, the album came out of a desire to bottle a restlessness that had emerged after a time of stifled creativity. “We were coming out of a period that felt quite suffocating and restrictive,” says Sophie. “We just kind of regrouped and re-energised and did it ourselves". Recorded and mastered by Jonathan Boulet, and entirely self-funded, the album sounds joyfully anarchic, bursting with life and autonomy.
