"Dustups" by Body Surfer

"Dustups" continues Body Surfer’s exploration of intimacy and personal history, creating narratives that are set against environmental collapse and political turmoil. "Dustups" speaks to the internal and external crises that define and confine us. “Anglers of Joy” reflects on aging, fear, and the burdens we take on from our parents. “Palace of Fakers” is a romantic cowboy ballad, sung by a narrator whose body is devastated by environmental destruction. A meditation on regret, love, and memory, “Buyer’s Remorse” reaches back into one’s personal history in the hopes of finding evidence of change. Ethereal strings linger on the periphery before disintegrating into silence. The final track, “…and yet it moves”, seeks hope amidst the impending doom that lingers in the previous tracks - a shining light against the gloom.

Body Surfer is the songwriting project of Canadian multi-instrumentalist Christopher Whitley.
