Album artwork for Year of the Orc by Body Meat

Philadelphia-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Body Meat, aka Christopher Taylor, presents his new EP, Year of the Orc. These songs are a celebration of himself and other outsiders breaking the mould. Written and recorded in his apartment in Philadelphia, Year of the Orc will, for many, be an introduction to an artist who stretches, re-configures and defies genre in a way that plays with atypical rhythmic structure with a breathless fluidity. Taylor cites everything from "getting back into Boyz II Men" to the dense, glottal production of Jlin as touchstones while writing, and that deft balance of thick percussive undergrowth with hyperpop smarts is immediately apparent.
