Expired Candy

Your new favourite Australian underground gems, Body Type are back with their hotly anticipated second album Expired Candy via Poison City Records. Body Type assert there’s no time like the present and reveal Expired Candy is filled with hope, love, and danger, dancing with delicious uncertainty. In pursuit of joy they dreamed up songs about mothers, sisters, dogs, nans; family tantrums, forward motion, falling in love, platonic or romantic, with someone or self. Following recent national tours supporting Fontaines D.C and the Pixies, the first peek of Expired Candy arrived with ‘Miss The World’. Born out of their time during COVID, ‘Miss the World’ is a pummelling lament, concerned with citizens’ unquestioning compliance and the ascent of tyrants, told through pre-teen anarchists, bichon frises, and a drum beat based on a Gwen Stefani song. Acting less as a commentary on the pandemic but rather the realisations, both personal and collective that occurred during that time. ‘Miss The World’ is the first taste of new music from the band since the release of their independently released, Australian Music Prize-nominated debut album Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising. Featuring tracks like ‘Buoyancy’ ‘The Charm’ and ‘Sex and Rage’, the 11-track record is a sharp, and invigorating listen packed with gentle contemplation and righteous fury.
