The CD's artwork features pictures of close-up pictures of trees branches in three different seasons- from the bare of winter, to buds of the spring, &  onto the fullness of summer. And this most apt for the track with-in, as it rather neatly splits it’s self into three different flowing parts- all to creating its own sonic seasons. In the past, much of The Necks releases have been about building, sometimes receding, then building again track structures- but with the Body they try something compositionally different.

The piece begins with a tight & dramatic blend of constantly fluttering mid ranged piano notation, emotive-yet sparse bass darts, and cymbal centred/detailed percussion.
As this first section progresses the three players skillful & subtle vary/ add to their settings- be it a sudden extra percussion detail, more throbbing & hazy brooding bass simmer or feedback dart, or a tighter/ more emotional rounded piano run. To me, this part of the track defiantly felt of the bitter & constant buffeting of autumn-into- winter winds.

At around the seventeen-minute mark the track pairs back to just percussion, and moody ambient bass shifts, before briefly just simmering in ambience. Then fairly soon we get a  forward sounding & pulsing bass line, which slowly but surely gets  building clusters of organ simmer, banks of guitar shimmer, and slowly snaking drum percussion added. Then at the twenty-five minute mark it’s burst into fully-formed atmospheric rock grooving, with once again the trio subtle adjusting moody & building detail. And fitting the season's mood of the release, this feels like spring- and the slow growth than the explosion of greenery

The final section kicks in at near the forty-one-minute mark- and this theme fitting takes us into lully & lush summer days. With the blend of tight wavering & wondering piano flurries, twinkling-to-crashing percussion, very subtle bass scrapes, and later more gong like flicks & dense crashers. All bringing to mind staring up at the lush & thick green canopy of summer foliage that’s been gently simmered by the season sometimes subtly chilled breeze.

Body once again shows why this three-piece are held in such high regard- really in a sonic place/ genre that is wholly of their own making. Simple put  Body is a truly spellbinding album, that takes one through the seasons in a sonic form- showing each of the three players at the height of their powers.
