Noisy Baltimore quartet Dope Body just released this video for new single "Leather Head." A hectic, funky 12/8 drumbeat brightens up a sludgy bass ostinato like squeezing lemon on a piece of meat. Vocalist Andrew Laumann's declamations function more as percussion than as melody, mixed low enough to obscure lyrics beyond the refrain "Could've been anybody." Black-and-white performance footage is intercut with close-ups of the bandmembers' heads, digitally stretched and warped as if about to burst. (via Spin)
