No Body Died are an electronic duo conceived in London during the winter of 2010, this is their first musical collaboration. Both emotive & driving, their music spans the genres of electronica, industrial, and atmospheric post-rock whilst retaining compelling pop sensibilities. Songwriters Jay Westfold and Declan Humphreys create dreamy and emotive music on a mountain, up in the clouds of the New England high country in, Australia. Turning the tables on conventional dreampop & shoegaze to forge their own sound that is more looking-up than looking-down.

No Body Died’s debut release, The Eaorpe Project is based around the notion that the world we live in is no longer the same world that we were we were first born in to. The 2 tracks, lyrically and sonically, explore a post-apocalyptic landscape. The Last Banquet is the story of an exiled soul, destined to live with the consequences of their own actions in solitude. Wandering without purpose over a desolate landscape. “Since the collapse i have been wandering in and out, though my grip is a sticking point, on reality and other trivial conditions.” Track 2 explores the outcast. A ‘Soul Shield’ is an emotionally defensive tool. An object that we use to escape from the environment that surrounds us. We use it at any cost, potentially missing moments of interaction that could be life changing. “I walk these streets, head down eyes averted. Soul Shield to find disconnection.”

Illusively inspired by a well-frequented German haunt, ‘Dschungel’ is a sonic-ode to the late David Bowie’s Berlin Years and the latest offering from Armidale-based electronic duo No Body Died.
 
Like the infamy surrounding West Berlin’s answer to Studio 54 and undoubtedly the shenanigans indulged by Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, the song itself delves into the depths of love, equality and acceptance.

‘Dschungel' is the second single from upcoming long player The Nihilist & The Pretender expected mid-February.

No Body Died 'The Nihilist & The Pretender' LP.  Out February 18, 2016.

"We want this to be an escape, so if it all sounds like it’s from another place, that’s because it is."

"It’s that moment where you have to make a decision, fight or flight. In times past, I would have chosen to run, but I’m not running anymore."

In Friends Help Me Forget there’s a little nod to an Oscar Wilde classic before the song swells to the euphoric climax of a positive affirmation. 

"This is the time to make a stand and fight for what I believe in. I want this to be a graceful and dignified soundtrack to an intellectual battle at a very human level, refusing to be drowned in the vile sub-world being played out on social media.”

Friends Help Me Forget

Yamanote - the Japanese railway loop. Depicts a circumventive state of affairs, true to the title. A striking fusion of solid bass and electro. it’s the kind of tune that makes you sway without even realising, like you become one with the sound. This dreamy and emotive piece builds quickly and creates an intense but balanced soundscape which consumes you completely - stunning.
