{"product_id":"the-switch","title":"The Switch","description":"\u003cp\u003eBody \/ Head, the duo of Kim Gordon (CKM, Sonic Youth, Free Kitten, etc.) and guitarist Bill Nace (X.O.4, Vampire Belt, Ceylon Mange, etc), release their second studio album, \u003ci\u003eThe Switch\u003c\/i\u003e, on Matador Records. Their debut album together as Body \/ Head, \u003ci\u003eComing Apart\u003c\/i\u003e, from 2013, was more of a rock record—heavy, emotional, cathartic, spellwork in shades of black and grey. \u003ci\u003eThe Switch\u003c\/i\u003e is their second studio full-length, and it finds the duo working with a more subtle palette, refining their ideas and identity. Some of it was sketched out live (if you’ve not had the fortune of seeing them in that natural environment yet, see 2016’s improvisational document No Waves), but much of it happened purely in the moment. On \u003ci\u003eThe Switch\u003c\/i\u003e, their vision and focus feel truly unified. If \u003ci\u003eComing Apart\u003c\/i\u003e was dark magic, \u003ci\u003eThe Switch\u003c\/i\u003e works with light, though it never forgets that these approaches are two sides of the same coin, and that binaries—black\/white, near\/far, emotion\/analysis, body\/head—are made to be broken open, and that the truth of things is in the energy between.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matador","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50497948877131,"sku":"1038252","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50497949401419,"sku":"1038251","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9b7262de-6811-4dbb-bdd5-ff0e9ede633c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727735462","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/the-switch","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
