Video: Body Parts, ‘Doing Things’ Kevin Bronson on June 4th, 2012 Share this:TweetEmail 1 <br /> </break><br /> “Nobody is original,” Ryder Bach wails in “Doing Things,” but damned if the brains behind <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bodypartsband" target="_blank">Body Parts</a> isn’t trying. The L.A.-based experimental pop quintet is all sharp edges, steep curves and biting humor on its album “On Purpose,” released last year. If it weren’t so precise, Body Parts could be construed as pop’s answer to free association – Bach’s voice pulling you through the instrumental chaos until, slowly, everything starts to make sense. The video for “Doing Things” works on a lot of levels (especially intellectually). Watching it is what I’m doing right now. And you should be too.</p> <p><strong>||| Download:</strong> <a href="http://www.bodypartsband.com/Doing-Things.mp3.zip" target="_blank">“Doing Things”</a></p> <p><strong>||| Also: </strong>Body Parts’ “On Purpose” on a name-your-price basis <a href="http://bodyparts.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">via Bandcamp</a>.</p> <p><strong>||| Live:</strong> Body Parts plays Sunday at the Bootleg Theater with Audiofauna.</p> <div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' > <h3 class="jp-relatedposts-headline"><em>Related</em></h3> </div> </article> <section class="rail-right" id="featured-rail"> <div class="widget_text" id="text-6"> <div class="textwidget"><a href="https://desertdaze.org/tickets/" target="blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/25145356/desertdaze2024-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&ssl=1" alt="Desert Daze" width="320" height="320" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/25145356/desertdaze2024-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class=" jetpack-lazy-image"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" loading="lazy" src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/25145356/desertdaze2024-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&ssl=1" alt="Desert Daze" width="320" height="320" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></a></div> </div><div class="widget_text" id="text-22"> <div class="textwidget"><p><a href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/3973037/264167/4272?u=https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/090060D42A8265A1" target="blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/25145237/elliottsmithtribute-square-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&ssl=1" alt="Levitt 2024" width="320" height="320" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/25145237/elliottsmithtribute-square-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class=" jetpack-lazy-image"><noscript><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" data-lazy-fallback="1" src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/25145237/elliottsmithtribute-square-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C320&ssl=1" alt="Levitt 2024" width="320" height="320" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></a></p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="rail-right" id="single-post-rail"> <div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-11"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="100%" height="auto" title="Video: Body Parts, 'Doing Things'" alt="" style="margin-left: auto;
