slenderbodies debut record, 'komorebi' was largely recorded and conceptualized in the natural oasis of an isolated cabin. Max Vehuni and Benji Cormack, the two names behind the duo, have created a surreal fusion that explores and pushes the limits of electric guitar, fusing them with breathy vocals to craft slinky, soothing walls of sound.

"belong" speaks to the feeling of wanderlust that permeates this album, while tracks like "dewdrops" and "arrival" speak to meditations on home amidst the experimental vortexes of sound slenderbodies have made their signature. The silky-smooth 11-track collection is steeped in self-reflection, exploring the ebbs and flows of friendship and romance while weaving in a deep connection to nature.

About slenderbodies:
slenderbodies first emerged in 2016 with 'sotto voce,' a mesmerizing EP that took its name from an Italian phrase meaning to speak softly but with emphasis. The collection quickly caught fire on Spotify, where it racked up millions of streams without any label or radio support. The next year, the pair returned with a second EP, fabulist, which launched their following into the stratosphere as lead single "anemone" garnered more than 30 million plays across platforms.
Though the duo had never planned on performing live, they soon found themselves on stage in front of massive crowds around the world, sharing bills with the likes of Mura Masa,
Passion Pit, PVRIS,
Milky Chance, and more. In 2018 and 2019, Vehuni and Cormack released two more EPs ('fabulist: extended' and 'soraya') earning ecstatic reviews on both sides of the pond and landing coveted spots at Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza. The Line Of Best Fit proclaimed that slenderbodies "conjure an immersive world" with their "genre-blurring" music, while Complex described their songs as "subtle but infectious."
