BODY TYPE - Sydney outfit Announce UK dates

Rising Sydney-based “trash can girl band” BODY TYPE have shared a new track + video from their upcoming EP – out May 3rd via Partisan/Inertia. ‘Free To Air’ is helmed by lead guitarist Annabel Blackman, and the accompanying video (dir. by Matt Griffin) weaves from a face swap bizarro world to the vegetable aisle.

‘Free To Air’ is the second track lifted from the bands forthcoming release EP2 after last month’s ‘Stingray‘, and follows the bands debut self-titled EP in 2018. Consisting of radio favourites ‘Ludlow (Do You Believe In Karma?)’, ‘Arrow’, ‘Palms’ and ‘Teeth’, the release received critical acclaim from the likes of the FADER, DIY, NME, KEXP, Beats 1’s Matt Wilkinson, BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, triple j’s Declan Byrne and more.

Body Type are fresh off their first-ever trip to the US, having played SXSW and their first headline shows in the States. In Australia they’ve toured with POND, Alex Cameron, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever,Japandroids, Frankie Cosmos, ,Big Thief Ariel Pink + more. The band head to the UK for their first shows on these shores this May, including slots at Live At Leeds, Hit the North and Great Escape festivals, as well as a headline London date at Moth Club on May 15th. They were also recently featured in Julia Jacklin‘s video for her song ‘Pressure To Party’.

Along with the digital release of the EP, the band will be releasing a double-sided 12″ for the first time, featuring EP1 on Side A & EP2 on Side B – it’s out June 28th on Partisan/Inertia. It is also available as a Rough Trade exclusive on limited edition slime-coloured vinyl. Pre-order it here: https://bodytype.lnk.to/EP2
