Personnel: Kim Gordon (vocals, guitar); Bill Nace (guitar). Audio Mixers: Justin Pizzoferrato; Body/Head. Recording information: Sonelab Studios, Western, MA (07/2017). Photographer: Vice Cooler. To record The Switch, Body/Head returned to Massachusetts' Sonelab Studios and reunited with producer Justin Pizzoferrato, the collaborator on their debut, Coming Apart. However, the evolution of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace's music since then is unmistakable. On their second album, they blend guitar, voice, and moods into a seamless union while honoring the dualities hinted at in Body/Head's name. By turns tender and formidable, dense and cavernous, The Switch joins seemingly contradictory forces in equally subtle and riveting ways. Heavy, undulating tones dominate, creating an uneasy yet electric mood that suggests transformation. Gordon's voice only coalesces into words occasionally, adding to the feeling emerging and evolving. When she sings "scream to the wind" on the gentle yet defiant album opener, "Last Time," it's echoed by deep drones and wailing feedback; when she repeats the title of "You Don't Need" over a fearsome roar, it feels like a continuation of the liberating rejection of Coming Apart's "Ain't Got No Life." As on No Waves, Nace and Gordon favor elongated interplay over climactic peaks, and the results are just as compelling. "In the Dark Room," an eerie study in abrasive textures and sounds reminiscent of a violin's wolf notes, primes listeners for "Change My Brain," a ghostly incantation of regret that makes its way to its mournful coda with shivery tones. By the time the confrontational fever dream "Reverse Hard" brings things to a close, The Switch serves as a potent reminder that experimental music isn't always cerebral. Transfixing, haunting, and lingering, this is some of Body/Head's most emotionally eloquent music. ~ Heather Phares

商品の紹介

元Sonic Youthの中心メンバーでもあり、ファッション・ブランド「X-girl」を立ち上げるなど、音楽だけでなくファッション/アート/モデルなど多方面で活動するKim Gordonと、Thurston Moore主宰レーベル＜Ecstatic Peace!＞から作品を発表し活躍するフリーノイズ・ギタリストのBill Naceによるデュオ、BODY/HEADがニュー・アルバム『The Switch』を〈Matador〉よりリリースする。
この2枚目となるスタジオ・アルバムは、Dinosaur Jr.、Sonic Youthなどの多くの大物アーティストを手掛けるJustin Pizzoferratoがエンジニアとして担当している。尚、デビュー・アルバム『Coming Apart』(2013年) と同じプロデューサーを起用し、同じスタジオでレコーディングされた本作は、10分越えの大曲「Change My Brain」(M-4)や「Reverse Hard」(M-5)などをはじめ、より空間的な音の響きに重点を置き、体の芯から震えるドローン、インタープレイとKim Gordonのヴォーカルの不協和音、繊細だが恐ろしさを喚起するシャープかつ幽玄なテクスチャーを纏う作品となった。
発売・販売元 提供資料（2018/06/12）

Rolling Stone - 3 stars out of 5 -- "With its whammy bar yowl and nearly two minutes of squealing-but-fragile feedback, opener 'Last Time' sounds like Ry Cooder scoring a zombie film....The duo are still exceptional at manipulating scuzz." Magnet - "[T]hey wield sound waves like a couple of planetary bodies directing ocean currents or weather fronts through the influence of gravity and energy." Pitchfork (Website) - "No matter how far they stretch, their tones and rhythms always cohere, making their music as mesmerizing as a hypnotist's swinging clock."
