Be sure to check out our interview with Los Angeles quartet Bodies of Water at the Breaking Blog. Our latest Breaking Artist funnels roots rock, soaring gospel, the Mamas & the Papas-style harmonies and Spaghetti Western themes into an uplifting, California-baked package. Bonus: their original name was Unicorn of Death. Get the skinny on singer-songwriter David Metcalf’s past life as an SAT question writer and Harry Potter trivia fact-checker and find out how Bodies of Water learned about Death Cab for Cutie’s penchant for Maker’s Mark and fruit baskets, plus watch a live performance of “Doves Circled the Sky” here.
