SYDNEY, Australia — Critically-lauded Australian indie rock outfit Body Type joins the roster of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s label p(doom) Records.
To celebrate the new arrangement, the post-punk four-piece today releases “And What Else?,” out through Poison City Records in Australia and New Zealand and via p(doom) Records for the United States, United Kingdom and European Union.
“The big chorus is a cathartic cry out against feeling insecure in a relationship,” says vocalist and guitarist Sophie McComish of the new song, “those mental twists your brain makes when statements of adoration make you feel sceptical and unworthy, but simultaneously hungry for more of that sweet stuff.”
Hailing from Sydney, and formed in 2016, Body Type is comprised of McComish, Annabel Blackman (vocals and guitar), Cecil Coleman (drums) and Georgia Wilkinson-Derums (vocals and bass). They’ve been shortlisted for AIR Awards and the Australian Music Prize; shared stages with the likes of Sleater-Kinney, Warpaint, The Pixies, Wolf Alice and Fontaines D.C.; and performed at Roskilde, Rock Werchter, SXSW, The Great Escape and more.
Following a brief hiatus during which they pursued their own projects, the bandmates reassembled in 2024. “And What Else?” is their first release of 2026.
At p(doom), Body Type’s labelmates include Babe Rainbow, the Murlochs and, of course, King Gizz, which announced the label in 2024. “Very very stoked to have Body Type repping for p(doom),” comments Stu Mackenzie of King Gizzard and p(doom) in a statement to Billboard. “You’re gonna love this track.”
The record label was started by the members of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard to “put out their own records and their friends too,” reads a message on its website. “If you all keep listening to ’em, we’ll keep making ’em.”
Body Type will support the new release with shows next week at the Sydney Biennale (White Bay Power Station on April 17) and a few show at Melbourne’s Punters Club (April 18).
