STARCHRIS OUT NOW VIA PARTISAN RECORDS
“a chaotic and captivating storyteller”– The FADER
“a full mirage of Taylor’s interests—which arrive as danceable as they do menacing and ferocious” – Paste Magazine
“gleefully absurd” – Pitchfork
“truly fascinating… deconstructed pop music at its absolute best” – Rolling Stone
“maintains a constant, contagious energy” – SPIN
“inventively chaotic” – Stereogum
Body Meat, the musical project of Chris Taylor, shares a new live session visual of three songs from his critically acclaimed debut album Starchris. Directed by Daniel Brennan, “Body Meat – Live” unveils live versions of album tracks “Focus,” “Electrische,” and “Crystalize” to immerse viewers deeper into the sonic barrage of Starchris. Joined by drummer Grant Chapman as part of the two-man live band, the visual also offers a preview of the live set Taylor will be bringing to his imminent headlining tour with support from Anysia Kym and DORIS, launching November 12th in Montreal.
Starchris was crowned Best New Music by Pitchfork in their review, which described the album as “brilliantly discombobulating,” praising the producer for his ability to juggle “the sleek pop sensibilities of a club-hopper with the type of obsessive engineering that only comes from late nights spent burying your head in software.” Taylor’s debut was also praised by Resident Advisor, SPIN, The FADER, FLOOD, The Creative Independent & more. Modeled after Body Meat’s affinity for crafting video games and the spontaneous bursts of action that color a main character’s quest, Starchris exquisitely details Taylor’s vision for pop music’s parameters and then obliterates them.
