Bodywash Laughing at Noise on New Album
The indie scene is buzzing with new sounds, and the duo Bodywash is bringing a refreshingly stripped-back vision to the forefront with their latest release. Their new single, Laughing at Noise, has landed on November 20 via Light Organ Records, offering fans a taste of their evolving sound.
Compared to their previous work, the new material signals a shift toward a more minimalist approach. This fresh direction isn’t just an alteration of style; it’s an invitation into a more intimate musical space, allowing the raw emotion of their songwriting to shine through with newfound clarity.
At the heart of this new wave is the standout track, Lapsang. It’s more than just a song; it’s a deep dive into nostalgia and place. Chris Stewad, the frontman of Bodywash, describes the track as an ode to Montreal’s Little Italy neighbourhood and the years spent waiting for the 55 bus—a beautifully specific, evocative memory woven into the melody.
This focus on grounded storytelling defines the entire tracklist, which includes tracks like Turn In, Widow’s Peak, and the eponymous Lapsang. It’s a collection that pulls the listener right into the heart of the experience.
Bodywash is ready to connect with audiences across the continent, kicking off a series of festivals that will bring their music to life in Toronto, Halifax, and their hometown of Montreal. Fans will have the opportunity to experience the new material live, culminating in an exciting run of dates.
The full tracklist available with the single includes ten tracks: Turn In, Widow’s Peak, Lapsang, Come and Go, Like a Bell, Pinup, La Renommée, A Sticker That’s Peeling, Bliss, and Overpass.
Catch Bodywash live as they embark on their 2026 tour. Upcoming festival dates include September 19 in Montreal, Toronto, and October 10 in Halifax, allowing listeners to witness the new sound firsthand.
