a steel spring a test of strength a severed hand a wollen glove a puppy bite a petty thief a stolen egg a wealth divide an absent queen a wasted wish a ticker tape a bored parade a bathroom chain a pintail comb a curled lock a red ribbon a cherry bomb a leap over a jammed gun a wage gap a struck match a lone grave a dark path a single shot a charred dollar a ski mask a maxed out card a burning farm a broken crib a ply board house a silver gate a human cage a ticket out an easy road a loose wheel an out stretched arm a heavy pedal a cheap date a hot trigger a holy lathe
3.	You Are The Light Of The World 09:39	lyrics	buy track
I believe that children are the future... Scream and Scream and Scream and Fucking Scream. 'You are loved, I have full faith in you that you are a world changer, you are the light of the world... ' Marching, Marching, into the light. Marching for life wearing the face of death. Controlling Bodies, Bodies of Work Bodies of Colour Women's Bodies Queer Bodies. Beating drums Crushing Spirits Stomping Boots and screams and confusion
4.	What Colour Is The Wind 02:56	lyrics
A Bunch of Balloons The Seashore Sun splits the sky Cardinal Finch Rose Garden Singing of the Birds Circle of life Flowers Angels Blackbirds Singing in the Evening Sky Colour of the Wind A Galloping Horse Panda Bears Lovely cats The Deep Blue A Bowl of Fruit The Rising Tide As Safe as Houses A gentle touch Love is Strenght Determination Hold Tight Watch Out The Sun Spitting The Sky The Crashing Waves Pride in the Name of Love A Fist in a Facists Face
5.	Singing Through The Birds 07:05	lyrics
SINGING THROUGH THE BIRDS Storms Torrents of rage A crow that says hello Drawn to extremes The comfort in drone Engine Fly like a bird Clouds of change Stream of conciousness Raging textures Fear Love Confusion Broken beats stumble together in poverty Breathe deep Hold tight Sing song

about

YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, the debut Visual EP from experimental club drone duo BODY OF WORK.

The EP is a long drawn out scream into the storm of rightwing bile and outright fascism we are currently living through. BODY OF WORK, Tom Moore and darken malign, are both non-binary femmes and ex-catholics, based in Berlin, with lives tied either side of Britain and Northern Ireland.

YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD is a cacophony of spoken word, drones, samples, drowned vocals, field recordings of bird song, evangelical christians, aeroplanes, looped screams from darken’s child, pushed hard through some minimal effects and electronic fuckery. All of the music is improvised with each piece recorded live in one take and on one track.

BODY OF WORK’s musical influences stem from wasted youths festering in subcultures. They channel the meta narrative of CRASS and the femme sensibility of internet genres such as NITECORE. They draw from experimental club culture currently liberating dancefloors from homogenous dudes and binary beats, acts such as Angel Ho, Swan Meat, Exit Sense, Zuir and WWWINGS.

They are shameless hystorians of digital artefacts. Their Visual EP is as much Beyonce’s Lemonade as Marianne Faithful and Derek Jarman’s Broken English. Lest we forget that the music video was born out of queer underground film. It’s pre 20th century cinema motives expressed through youtube hi-jacking.
