Stereogum has two new Bodies of Water songs for download.

Los Angeles indie-gospel/Music Go Music makers Bodies Of Water are at work on a followup to 2008’s A Certain Feeling. They aren’t done yet, but frontwoman Meredith Metcalf sent GvsB a few samples with a note: “[I]nstead of waiting till the whole record is done, we thought it’d be fun to record little groups of 3 or 4 songs at a time so people can listen as we finished them.” Here are a couple with differing speeds/approaches.

Bodies Of Water – “Triplets” Download
