Pure sunshine pop vibes care of Body Language with their new single “Well Absolutely” off of their upcoming album “Grammar”. Out September 10, bodylanguagemusic.com

Thanks to the one and only Asian Dan intern, Sam for showing me that Body Language is offering up their latest EP, “Social Studies” via Bandcamp.com – a 4 track EP that is satisfying all my Synth Pop urges at the moment. The opening track “You Can” is a favorite of mine, a very RnB synth driven song with a lovely lofty male/female duet that floats over an array of synths. The title track “Social Studies” reminds of Flaming Lips circa Yoshimi but with female vocals instead of Mr. Wayne Coyne. Download the EP for free from now.

Body Language – You Can

Toro y Moi is a staple of this chillwave movement and takes on Brooklyn’s own, Body Language with a heartfelt remix of “At A Glance”, reciprocating Body Language’s remix duties on Toro y Moi’s “Timed Pleasure” which was set loose into the blogosphere a few weeks ago. Both tunes are introspective takes on each others work by highlighting what each of them do best, Body Language’s chill pop sensibility and Toro Y Moi’s ability to create filtered-out atmospheres.

Mr. Shuttle adds his touches of dubstep to Brooklyn’s own Body Language turning “Work This City” into a what I like to call a “pop-step” tune. I feel it. The vocals are very XX sounding and the basslines are big but not obnoxious. Bump it on your computer speakers or out in the club. Your choice, they both do it justice.
