Godcaster have shared stand-alone single “Lady Said a Body.” The track arrives on the heels of their self-titled sophomore album and ahead of their tour of North America and Europe this Fall. Tour highlights includes headlining dates on the west coast and shows supporting Deeper, Model/Actriz, and Panchiko, as well as festival appearances at Pitchfork London, Mutations Brighton and London Calling.

“Lady Said a Body” is another transition for the ever-changing Godcaster, a tunnel on a railway forward to the band’s next shape. There is a light at the end of the passage—is it hope or cause for concern?

The psychedelic fable unfurls gently at first, sparkling keys and synthesizers flicker across the early moments like lightning bugs in a summer field before Judson Kolk’s vocals float through in a haze. “Lady” is a brief surrealist tale of physicality, otherworldly evil, and unrequited love, about worldmaking in a corrupted biosphere, “Everything she did had wings / All she said could talk.” The song recounts a story written by Kolk inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone, of a teenage track star named Lady from a middle-American town called Watershed that makes heroes of its track and field athletes.
