Body, The 'No One Deserves Happiness'
On 'No One Deserves Happiness', The Body’s Chip King and Lee Buford set out to make “the grossest pop album of all time.” Blending their signature heaviness with 80s dance tracks, the album explores themes of despair, isolation, and raw emotion. This unlikely fusion results in a unique sound where metallic brutality meets unexpected, haunting melodies.
The Body effortlessly moves between metal and electronic music, transcending genre boundaries without softening their influences. Their ability to combine extremes without compromise is fully showcased in 'No One Deserves Happiness', an album that defies categorization. The duo blends beauty and intensity in a way few others can, creating a powerful contrast that is both captivating and unsettling.
In the studio, The Body expands their sound with collaborators like The Assembly of Light Choir, using an unexpected mix of instruments, including an 808 drum machine, cello, and trombone. The result is a lush, dense soundscape, pushing their creative vision to its most extreme limits while maintaining their reputation as pioneers in the underground music world.
