SEVEN WIVES continues electronic pop duo MY BODY's exploration of their singular sound and approach, as well as their inspiration by Steven Milhauser’s short story Thirteen Wives. From the band: “Seven Wives portrays his love with thirteen different women, some powerful and strong, others frail and sick, or brandishing knives under bedsheets. We are a composite of each. We are inhabited by the husband, each wife, and live in their houses. We believe there are still ones unexplored, that each wife is a proxy for other sides of us still undetected.” 12" vinyl.
MY BODY was originally formed by Darren Bridenbeck and Jordan Bagnall—both of who are former members of Portland staple Typhoon. Music that is hard to keep from dancing to, MY BODY fuses infectious pop sounds and optimistic lyrics while maintaining a safe distance from cornyness.
