GØSPEL:
Bodies:
Digital EP:
London electro-pop trio GØSPEL have been quietly slipping out a few single tracks here and there to modest acclaim for the past few years and, somewhat annoyningly, garnering little reward.
Bodies has been previewed already by a natty Brodsky refix of the title track and the pulsating house anthem Your Thoughts but here is the full 7-track EP in all its spell-binding glory.
Aside from the title-track in both original and reworked form and the impressive club banger, you get the instant hit This Life which follows on from earlier epics like EMPR and Disasters Running Wild, being a wistful yet fist-waving call to emotional arms, the not dissimilar No More Time, former immaculate b-side The Other Side, which ought to be transmitted across the world to stop wars, and a quite remarkable half-speed version of Billy Idol's White Wedding. I shit you not, as covers go, they've nailed this. Equal parts Lynchian dramatics, Lana Del Rey smokiness and the sort of interpretation rarely heard these days. It's a great song full stop but Beth and Chris had an eerieness to it all.
Get.
9/10
