Body/Head 'Coming Apart'

Body/Head are an electric guitar duo formed by Kim Gordon (CKM, Sonic Youth, Free Kitten) and Bill Nace (X.O.4, Vampire Belt, Ceylon Mange). The project began in various loose formats but took shape as Body/Head in early 2012. Initially, their music was mostly instrumental, featuring interwoven feedback and improvisation inspired by artists like Heldon and Keiji Haino, often performed alongside slow-motion film projections.

Kim’s vocals soon became a central element, adding depth to their experimental compositions. They’ve also collaborated with guest artists, such as Michael Morley of The Dead C for the 'Body/Gate/Head' LP and Ikue Mori, who brought her percussion back into the mix. These collaborations, alongside their evolving sound, have pushed the boundaries of improvisation and experimental music.
