Bodywash is back with new single “Come and Go.” The track is the follow up to the Montreal duo’s 2023 album I Held the Shape While I Could. Bodywash includes Rosie Long Decter and Chris Steward, a project they launched after first meeting in college, finding common ground between British dream pop, classic shoegaze, folk, and atmospheric pop. Stay tuned for more music from Bodywash in 2026. “Com and Go” is now out via Light Organ Records.

“I wrote “Come and Go” mostly in one go at home, improvising on vocal and bass, and then I brought it to Chris, playing it for him on guitar in the studio,” Rosie explains. “Normally I write on keys and make a demo, and he helps flesh it out, or vice versa. But after our last album we wanted to try writing more in the room together. As we played through the song together, and Chris wrote the riff, it came together really quickly in a shared burst of energy that’s only really possible in-person. The song itself is really influenced by the built environment of Montreal—the forty auto route, the new buildings popping up around the University de Montreal campus, this crazy animal-themed light show in Laval. It describes scenes I’ve shared with my girlfriend and my bandmates here, and the sort of temporary or transitory feeling that comes with living as an artist in Montreal, or anywhere really—the sense that there could always be an end date on the horizon.”
