Body Type – ‘Weekend’
Expired Candy is set to arrive Friday, 2nd June via Poison City Records. It’s the follow-up to Body Type’s debut LP, last year’s Everything’s Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising, which was nominated for the 2022 Australian Music Prize. The album has been previewed with three singles so far: ‘Miss the World’ in February, ‘Holding On’ in March and ‘Weekend’ earlier this month.
The band described the forthcoming record as “filled with hope, love, and danger, dancing with delicious uncertainty,” when announcing it back in February. “In pursuit of joy we dreamed up songs about mothers, sisters, dogs, nans; family tantrums, forward motion, falling in love, platonic or romantic, with someone or self,” they added. “Heart breaks, tooth will shatter, but she’ll be there when it really matters. Flirty, feral and defiant, just how we like it. From our wild heart to yours.”
