Body Type announce EP2, share ‘Stingray’ video

Aussies Body Type made quite an introduction with their brilliant, fun-packed debut EP last year, and they’re set to follow it up with a second in May!

The sensibly-titled ‘EP2’ will be out 3rd May via Partisan, just before the band play their first UK shows, including performances at The Great Escape.

In line with the announcement, the band have shared new song ‘Stingray’, which comes along with its own video.

Speaking of the new track, vocalist Sophie McComish says: “Georgia has a deck of animal tarot cards - I was doing a reading for my lover and pulled out the Stingray. Despite having no backbone (all cartilage, like a shark), the stingray is a powerful creature that can blend into its surroundings but delivers a nasty attack when provoked. This is a song about observing my friends being stuck in relationship ruts and trying to shake them out of it, reminding them of their power to sting and swim away gracefully.”

The track’s video is inspired by Freckle, a stingray that lives at Sydney Aquarium, who recently gave birth despite having had no male contact for the last 9 years. “I saw parallels between her story and the theme of the song itself - Freckle is an inspiration for everyone in dead end relationships - so Nick and I decided she should be the star of this video,” Sophie says.
