Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising is the blistering debut studio album from Australia’s Body Type. Recorded and mastered by Jonathan Boulet, the 11 new tracks sound joyfully anarchic, bursting with life and autonomy. It’s an album about yanking back control, embracing abandon and purging despair, told through the grizzly margins of wiry garage-pop and post-punk. Since first forming in 2016, Body Type have shared acclaimed releases, ‘EP1’ and ‘EP2’ to global fever and critical acclaim from DIY, NME, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit, The FADER, Stereogum, KEXP, Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson, BBC Radio 1’s Jack Stephens, triple j’s Declan Byrne and many more. In between support stages with Fontaines D.C., Big Thief, Cate Le Bon, POND, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Frankie Cosmos, Rolling Blackouts Coast Fever and more, the group have also performed across SXSW, The Great Escape, and headline tours in the US and UK, including a recorded session at the BBC’s Maida Vale studios.Boom! Right out the gates Body Type tell you what they are all about. Taking the classic Aussie garage rock sound and making it their own. Slightly darker, sometimes more or less angry, and all the more charismatic. The opening track “A Line” gives us a taste of what’s to come on Everything is Dangerous but Nothing’s Surprising, rolling along with punching bass lines and fuzzed-up guitars.
After heading straight into “The Brood”, it’s clear that Body Type have something to say. No one on this track can sit still, and neither can we. That psychedelic guitar riff is just something else!

In a world where garage rock and post-punk reign supreme, Body Type have set themselves apart and are sitting a peg above the rest. McComish’s recount of the music industry’s treatment of women on “The Charm” has serious replayability, and again, those guitars!
The further you dive into this album the more enthralled you become. Every track offers something completely new but slightly familiar, harking sometimes back to bands like Sleater-Kinney or Kleenex/LiLiPUT, or to the current post punk coming out of the UK.

For a band’s debut album, it is incredible to see such coherence within the group and across the tracks. Everything is Dangerous but Nothing’s Surprising is the kind of album where you discover something even more fantastic every time you re-listen, which we highly recommend you do. This debut is truly an album that showcases every member’s pure musicality and we are just desperate to hear more. – Jessica Porter-Langson
