\"We are all hostages of need; we struggle to free our minds from confinement. A song for those imprisoned by their own desires.\"
Birthed from Arizona’s regaled Ascetic House collective, Body of Light is a dark synth-pop outfit comprised of young brothers Andrew and Alexander Jarson. What began as a vehicle for their exploration of noise and sound during their early teens has evolved into an established production over the last decade, as Body of Light continues to carve out their own style of complex, structured, and moving dancefloor electronics.
Their music is not only individually personal, but drawn from experiences shared between the two brothers – and calls on elements of new wave, freestyle, goth, and techno to create timeless and singular tracks without fear of trend or passing fashion.
On their third album Time to Kill, Body of Light refines their brand of cold and driving synth pop with a bold pallet of sounds and a focus on uncharted technique and purpose. Like the pale digital stare of the modern devices surrounding our daily lives, the album weaves stories of love and obsession in an era of technical bondage and fleeting exhilaration. Written over a period of intense and profound change, Time to Kill stands as a startling reminder of how important our existence truly is. Haunting keys, swelling pads, and punching rhythms score their work as Alex Jarson presents an alluring and romantic dialogue with confident projection.
Produced by Matia Simovich at Infinite Power Studios in Los Angeles and mastered by Josh Bonati, Time to Kill shines with new direction and new intention through lustrous production and innovative songwriting.
Deep inside
Caught behind
Through the metal bars
Seconds from the barrel of a loaded gun
Black as night,
where I hide
all my hidden pain
Left to fight like a child
Can you please explain?
I can hear your voice when the rain is falling
I’m alone, but I can hear you calling…
I just can’t hold on for long
Try to escape, but I just can’t get away
Was this ever love?
I just can’t hold on for long
Try to escape, but I just can’t understand
Was this ever love,
Or just the end?
Deep inside
There’s a light
As my memories fade
Seconds from the center of the morning sun
Hear the cries
They all hide
Then, you run away
Left to fight like a child
Can you please explain?
I can hear your voice when the rain is falling
I’m alone, but I can hear you calling…
I just can’t hold on for long
Try to escape, but I just can’t get away
Was this ever love?
I just can’t hold on for long
Try to escape, but I just can’t understand
Was this ever love,
Or just the end?
