Water & Bodies – Water & Bodies

This self-titled debut EP by Water & Bodies reveals first and foremost, a band with great potential. The energetic indie-rock on these six songs is often danceable, as on “Something I Can Grasp” or “Free World,” with loud and passionate vocals to fit. “Animals” slows it down with an electronic synth and drum intro, melding into a grooving bass, jangly guitar, and lighter vocal. The electronic element shows up again on “Written and Read” with some synth strings on the intro again leading into a track with higher softer vocals compared to the stronger vocals on the more up-beat songs. A bit of a jazzy piano is added on “Naked in the Rain,” which is a truly heartfelt song with well-performed vocals. At times it seems like the band lacks direction, and at others I think I’ve heard that riff before, but for the most part these are things that will be solved with a full-length, which would allow Water & Bodies to better flesh out their sound and show the world what they truly have to offer.
