What Is It? 7. Casual Death 2* Praise and reviews for Body Shame: An “...expanse of slowly desiccating beats, buzzing computer racket, and the occasional intrusion of what might be a melody — all the better to enjoy the ride through every unexpected twist and turn and to make sure you don’t get hurt as the ground crumbles away beneath your feet.” &nbsp; &nbsp; - Robert Ham, Oregon Music News “Body Shame blasts through synth-heavy post-punk/industrial screeds with lots of excess imagination and ingenuity. Like robots suffering from an identity crisis or questioning their gender assignments.” &nbsp; &nbsp; - Cassette Gods “...sounds like a cyborg trying to eat its own body. It is profoundly unpleasant and deeply perfect. Consider this a soundtrack for your worst vision of our future.” &nbsp; &nbsp; - Chris Stamm, Willamette Week“This tape kicks your ass and doesn't let up. Just when you think it's overit picks up again and slams you into another strange world. It's like the audio equivalent of the old Heavy Metal magazines.

From no wave to black metal, IDM to post-punk and back, the collection of songs and not-quite-songs manage to congeal into a cohesive whole that does not resemble its ingredients. QUIET PILLS continues Body Shame’s series of difficult, experimental releases, but breaks away from many of its predecessors in new, unique ways. It emphasizes raw vocals, ranging from delicate to violent and transitions from its usual, maximal approach to a new heavy dynamism.
