The Heavenly Bodes drop new single "Faux Pilars"
Hot off the release of their new single Faux Pillars, Cornish garage-psych outfit The Heavenly Bodes kick off a headline UK tour tonight. Out now with an accompanying video, Faux Pillars is the first taste of a soon to be announced debut album on Fuzz Club. You can stream the new single now HERE, and watch the video on YouTube below:
On Faux Pillars, a lo-fi garage-rocker record live to reel-to-reel, Heavenly Bodes write: “Recorded in Eggland during an incessant Cornish heatwave, Faux Pillars evokes the clammy attic in which it came from. A hard hitting garage-psych number with persistent, twitching bass. Surf-esque licks dissolve into a hazy electric (prunes) organ, melting like the summer sun.”
The Heavenly Bodes emerged out of South Cornwall through chance meetings at kernowbeat (formerly kernow psych society) shows in Falmouth. Formed in 2023 through a collective love of all things pebbles and acid-garage, a slew of limb injuries put the brakes on proceedings until summer 2024 when they went on to cut their teeth with opening slots for NZ Flying Nun heavyweights The Chills as well as LA fuzz stalwart Charles Moothart & His Fast Band.
Since then, the band have been writing and performing continuously. The incoming new music arrives off the back of a string of single release and their debut EP, “A Shelf You Can Applaud At A Distance”, released in November last year and supported by BBC 6 Music and Radio X.
