The theme song for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier could have very well be provided to us by Bodies Of Water. Yes, dear people for whom Canadian politics are not on your radar, the California-based band may very well have the expunging song which embodies the ablutionary feeling that accompanied Bernier’s stepping down from the role of Canada’s top diplomat.

See, Bernier was a goof in the role, and made some astounding gaucheries unthinkable for someone who is supposed to ensure Canada’s integrity in international relations. There’s a bit of an overview right here if you want to see just what kind of guy we had to deal with.

So really, the timing couldn’t be better for Bodies Of Water’s upcoming album release which includes the terrifyingly prodigious Under The Pines, another dramatic, broad shouldered moment of visceral, purgative harmonics. The vast arrangements which compose this sonic tale of release begin with the foreshadowing cockling of a solitary Hammond, undulating uneasily as early-era metal riffs press into existence, swerving into an overanxious psychedelic-folk movement of nervous guitarwork. Finally, release hits in a somewhat tense moment of choral explosiveness, as voices sing, scream, and squeal together in a cacophonous bleating, surrounded by crashing drums, wicked horns, and truculent guitars; a manic, wild-eyed moment of dense, frantic, calculated anthem design.

Yes, everything feels clean now. Well, clean-er.
