A project by Christopher Taylor.
On Starchris, Body Meat’s debut album with Partisan Records, he puts the distinctive musical language he has spent years perfecting to the test. Across 13 tracks, he explores the roughest edges of r&b, IDM, club music, experimental pop, trap, footwork, and metal, only to soften them into something remarkably warm and welcoming, finding catharsis amongst chaos.
With this record, Body Meat embarks on a multi-dimensional world-building endeavor, partly influenced by hours spent playing games like ‘Elden Ring’ and ‘Nier Automata,’ drawing inspiration from their expansive storytelling and gameplay. Taylor imagines each song as its own distinct ‘level,’ and himself as the avatar moving through an immersive storyline. In its totality, Starchris evokes both the exhilaration and the emotional challenges that are part of any long, transformative journey. Suitably, the album cover features four clones of Taylor in a car, in active poses suggestive of various gradations of joy and despair.
