For the first time, Body of Light's now classic release is available on vinyl from one of our favorite labels. Available now on Chondritic Sound, is 2013's Volantà di Amore. Arizona brothers Alex and Andrew Jarson create beautifully dark, melancholy tracks with a pop sensibility that work equally as well on the dance floor as they do in the confines of a plush, private bedroom.
While only a few years old, Volantà has proven to be an important record. Its combination of genres was slightly ahead of the curve and helped usher in a now prevalent sound that fuses some of the best elements of goth, minimal synth, dark wave and more. We love tracks like "Fall", which are just oozing with romanticism and emotional torment. Chondritic Sound offers three options for the release - traditional black vinyl (ltd 170), a white vinyl edition (ltd 110) that includes a killer new patch with the band's excellent artwork and finally "hardcore pink" (ltd. 70), which includes the patch plus a bonus cassette.
Volantà di Amore was originally only available on cassette format so we are thrilled to see it get a proper vinyl release. As always, Chondritic Sound puts out some of the most relevant and important albums in the underground today and this is no exception. Body of Light is also currently on the tail end of a major US tour with local favorites High Functioning-Flesh. For more information and purchasing please visit Chondritic Sound and Bandcamp.
