about

“Kind of Light” announces the beginning of a new sonic era for Montreal duo Bodywash. A reflection on how to pull back from something broken, the track finds vocalist Rosie Long Decter expressing both despair and acceptance. “We breathe / and lose it at the same time,” she sings, accompanied by underwater organs and a propulsive kick pattern, which eventually erupts into a high-energy breakbeat. Chris Steward's squealing guitars and throbbing bass synths flesh out the track as it evolves from somber elegy into an electrifying catharsis. The trajectory suggests that in loss there can also be hope and energy, a new shape taking form.

lyrics

pull back
start to make out of your arms
another bed to keep

pull back
all the ways you count her gone
spend a year trying
to hold yourself
to a certain kind of light

oh darling
you didn’t have to meet me
we breathe
and lose it at the same time

oh darling
i’ll make a mirror out of the
things you left behind
i’ll make a mirror out of a
certain kind of light

a certain kind of light
a certain kind of light

oh darling
you didn’t have to come
and meet me
we breathe
and lose it at the same time

i wanted to see how far the colour goes
i wanted the light to grow

i’ll make a mirror out
i’ll make a mirror out
