Ahead of the release of second EP, ‘EP2’, tomorrow, Aussie newcomers Body Type have aired new track ‘Uma’ - with a video directed by Charlotte Linden Ercoli Coe.
Of the song, the band’s Georgia Wilkinson Derums says: “a slightly skewed love song to Uma Thurman. During the Me Too movement I watched the exposed footage of Thurman’s car crash on the Kill Bill set. It was leaked years after the film was released with Tarantino claiming he was deeply regretful of forcing his lead actor to drive in an unsafe vehicle. I just thought it was an uncanny fictional retelling of what was actually playing out around the world… A rallying cry in support of women like Eryn Jean Norvill who continue to call to account the powerful.”
