[MP3] Body Language: "Huffy Ten Speed"

I was hitchhiking on the information highway yesterday and came across what Paste Magazine referred to as their Top 10 Buzziest Acts of SXSW 2009. Of their favorite acts, I was most excited to see that Fanfarlo cracked the list in a continuing effort to build more and more hypeworthy momentum – we’ll have more coverage from the British six-piece’s SXSW set at our party very soon! Until then, the leading band on Paste’s list was none other than Passion Pit who definitely have everyone’s ears eager to hear where they’ll venture in a post-”Sleepyhead” world.

Part of this world will (no doubt) contain the independent pop meets dance crossbreed of NYC-bred Body Language. I stumbled across this act the week before SXSW and have been spinning their tunes ever since, enjoying it more and more each listen. It just so happens that a few of the Body Language band members are entrapped in a solid bromance with Passion Pit; they did a nice remix of “Sleepyhead” and have contributed to some songs on their upcoming debut LP. They’re a darker/heavier sound with glitchy synths and forceful beats to boot – not to mention they’ve crafted a chorus as catchy as it is locomotive. Plus it’s a tune almost any (once) youthful American can relate to, who didn’t like zipping around the neighborhood on their Huffy ten speed?
