Dutch post-punk / new wave outfit Docile Bodies have unleashed their new single “Cathedral“.
The track is taken from their upcoming debut album ‘Light Will Come Our Way‘, due to be release on October 24 through à La Carte Records. Pre-order it here.
Drawing similarities to artists such as The Chameleons, The Cure, and Killing Joke, Docile Bodies is not a band that plays their influential cards close to the vest. Since their inception, they have also been compared to contemporary acts Iceage, Protomartyr, and Eagulls while simultaneously carving their own niche of sonic landscapes and post-modernist prose.
Light Will Come Our Way is a collection of meditations on art, nature and family. In their previous works, such as their debut single Only This (2020) and their first EP Arc (2022), the (botanic) landscape mainly served as a metaphor for hopelessness and desolation. On this new album a shift occurs and moves towards a more confident notion of nature, although it does not entirely embrace it.
The album is also about ancestry and descendants. About restored bonds, future offsprings and deaths in the family.
