“Every Body” is the debut single from the Drunk Astronomer, taken from his upcoming EP “Octopi,” set for release in February 2023. This track is a celebration of the human body and its intricate anatomy, drawing inspiration from the artist’s background as a physiotherapist.
What starts as a joke listing basic anatomy facts turns into a meaningful and memorable song, with synths, three-part harmonies, spacy guitars, and a soaring chorus. “Every Body” combines the poignancy and ridiculousness of human anatomy with the dreamy, ethereal sound of dream pop, resembling a Joy Division-influenced version of “The Knee Bone’s Connected to the Thigh Bone.” Overall, this debut single is a unique and catchy ode to the human body that is sure to be a standout on the “Octopi” EP.
The arrangement builds with such richness, progressively becoming larger and more filled with each passing moment. By the end of it all, it just completely envelopes you in a shimmer to sink in.
