,: Bodywash ù the Montreal duo of Chris Steward and Rosie Long :,
: Decter ù announces its new album, I Held the Shape While I :
:' Could, out April 14 on Light Organ Records, and shares the lead ':
,: single/video, ôMassif Centralö. Over I Held the Shape While I :,
: CouldÆs twelve tracks, Steward and Long Decter reflect on their :
:' separate and shared experiences of losing a sense of place, the ':
,: way something once solid can slip between your fingers, and :,
: their attempts to build something new from the fallout. On lead :
:' single ôMassif Centralö, stark guitars and relentless drums ':
,: accompany StewardÆs whispered vocals as he recounts an :,
: experience of bureaucratic purgatory: a typo in a government :
:' letter caused Steward to lose his legal work status in Canada. ':
,: :,
: ôAfter eight years living in Canada, in the Spring of 2021, a :
:' government clerical error caused me to lose my legal status ':
,: here,ö Steward explains. ôAs a UK national, I lost my right to :,
: work. My savings trickled away during months where I could do :
:' little but pace the corners of my apartment. I was prepared to ':
,: pack my bags and leave as the life IÆd hoped to construct for :,
: myself seemed to vanish into a bureaucratic abyss.ö :
:' ':
,: Steward and Long Decter met in college in 2014, but didnÆt :,
: immediately share a musical language. Chris grew up in London :
:' listening to British dream pop and classic shoegaze; Rosie was ':
,: raised in Toronto on folk and Canadiana. Working toward their :,
: own blend of airy vocals, intricate guitar work and atmospheric :
:' synths, they released their debut EP as Bodywash in 2016 and ':
,: their first full-length, Comforter, in 2019. :,
: :
:' As they prepared to release Comforter, Long Decter and Steward ':
,: both experienced alienating shifts in their personal lives, :,
: leading to a mutual sense of dislocation. They began writing new :
:' material that was darker, more experimental, and at the same ':
,: time more invigorating than the soothing dream pop on Comforter. :,
: In 2021 they took these songs into the studio, sharing them with :
:' longtime drummer Ryan White and recording/mixing engineer Jace ':
,: Lasek (Besnard Lakes). The resulting I Held the Shape While I :,
: Could is a record that lives in the sonics of decay and renewal: :
:' breaks that burst forth from a squall of fuzz guitars, drones ':
,: that glitch and stutter like ice willing itself to thaw. :,
: :
:' There are many places like home, and on I Held the Shape While ':
,: I Could, home is a mutable thing; a location that is fixed until :,
: it isnÆt. Across the record, StewardÆs abstract guitars and Long :
:' DecterÆs cascading vocals act as ambient throughlines, blurring ':
,: the digital and organic, gesturing toward something intangible, :,
: just out of reach. Home is a process ù the back and forth of :
:' guitar riffs and vocal hums, of files sent and received across ':
,: the ocean. A world imagined and sculpted together. :,
: :
