The Bodies Obtained were originally conceived in Detroit, taking their name from Joy Division’s “Day of the Lords”. Their first album, From the Top of My Tree, was released in 2008 and introduced their daring sound both heavy and transcendent.
That thread continues on their more recent albums, 2017’s Eightsome which finds space for both the idyllic and the threatening and 2018’s Breakneck & Jubilee which takes its name from the characters created in the album, one contemplative and in minor chords and the other boisterous and overpowering in major chords, they finished the year with a remix of A Place To Bury Strangers "Was It Electric".
TBO released two albums in 2019, Fishtail and Mr Techy’s Catch of the Day that obliterate the lines between electronic genres. 2020 saw the release of To Protect Lake Flummox and Obsolete and a remix for Big Black Delta's "Summoner".
Those were followed by Eating Sleeping Mating Defending and Never Wasted in 2021. The Bodies Obtained released the wildly adventurous album Whipsaw earlier in 2022, and a remix for A Place To Bury Strangers "End of the Night".
In 2023, TBO remixed José González "Head On", A Place To Bury Strangers "I Disappear (When You're Near), Joudy "Uneasy" and GIFT "Here and Now (Time Floats By).
TBO have a new album, Until I Crawl Away, ready for November 10th 2023.
