Body, The & Dis Fig 'Orchards of a Futile Heaven'
The Body and Dis Fig form a remarkable partnership, each crafting distinctive soundscapes that defy traditional genre limits. The Body — composed of Lee Buford and Chip King — constantly redefines metal with their innovative collaborations, from their folk-tinged work with BIG|BRAVE and avant-garde projects with the Assembly of Light Choir to their intense collaborations with Thou and OAA. Dis Fig, aka Felicia Chen, explores the darkest corners of electronic music, combining distorted DJ sets with avant-garde production and contributing haunting vocals to projects like The Bug.
Their collaborative debut, 'Orchards of a Futile Heaven', exemplifies their combined artistry. The album intertwines heavy distortion, intricate rhythms, and intense beats, layered with a soaring, emotionally charged voice. This synthesis creates a sound that is as profoundly emotional as it is innovative, blending elements of heavy music and dark electronic atmospheres. It showcases their exceptional ability to craft deeply affecting and beautifully complex music that pushes the boundaries of genre.
