On the eve of their biggest headline tour to date, fast rising “trash can girl band” Body Type release the vinyl edition of their acclaimed first two EPs on a double-sided 12″ on Partisan Records/Inertia. The band also share a new video for EP2 highlight ‘Insomnia‘ – a tender spot on the record that feels infinite and intimate all at once, about finding serenity in nature and safety in a sweet lover’s arms.

The accompanying video was shot throughout the band’s recent debut US shows, as Body Type’s Sophie McComish recalls: “I found an old film handycam at the local junk shop. The seller told me it didn’t work so he only charged me $5. I lugged the thing all around the US while we were touring to test his theory. Turns out he was wrong, and now I have hours of glorious taped footage of Body Type’s maiden voyage outside of Australia. I see a lot of parallels between the abandoned handycam and a candid band-y van, and I’m glad I found one to capture the other.”
