Body Double is a new group from Oakland, led by songwriter Candace Lazarou. Next month, their first album Milk Fed is coming out on Zum – the Bay Area fanzine turned record label. Previously a singer in Mansion, Lazarou played most of the instruments on these new recordings. Now performing as a five-piece group, their first single “The Floating Hand” is bound to get them some bookings for the winter. “I wrote this song about a musician I thought was particularly nasty, and it ended up being about myself”, says Lazarou about the song. The music is post-punk with strong melodies, highlighting the lyrics.
