BODY STUFF - "World Peace"


BODY STUFF delivers "hardcore Bruce Springsteen" energy on upcoming new album "Body Stuff 4"; new single "World Peace" streaming now

NYC duo Body Stuff has debuted new single "World Peace" from its upcoming new album, Body Stuff 4.


Of the new single, Body Stuff vocalist/songwriter Curran Reynolds says: "I wrote this song as a message of hope and homecoming, for anyone who needs it."

On the song's chorus, he sings: "A Russian winter of the soul / Spring has come, you're going home / There is a crack in the wall / I had a premonition of something wonderful."

Body Stuff 4 will be released June 2nd via The Chain, the company co-founded by Reynolds, Deaf Club's Justin Pearson, and Trace Amount's Brandon Gallagher.

A review in the May 2023 issue of The Wire Magazine describes the sound as "a massive surge of passionate energy that occasionally comes across like a hardcore Bruce Springsteen." 

A new review from Stereogum states, "Reynolds' hearty howl sounds like Springsteen fully embracing his Suicide influence," also adding comparisons to Sisters of Mercy and New York hardcore.

The album contains a guest vocal appearance by 1980s pop icon Tiffany ("I Think We're Alone Now"), as well as a remix by Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu).

Body Stuff was founded by Reynolds and collaborator Ryan Jones in New York City in 2013. The duo has released three EPs to date; Body Stuff 4 is the first full-length.
