This song is about a dream where our guitarist is consoling his own ghost who is questioning if he is real or not.
Bodies On The Beach began as solitary exploration for Navid Eliot. With the addition of two Seattle music scene mainstays (Evan Gackstatter and Andrew Ginn), the home recordings of Eliot began to shift: from art project to art-centric rock n roll.
As in his work in the nationally-celebrated Planes On Paper, Eliot’s fingerpicking remains the simple, skeletal foundation of Bodies On The Beach, though now amidst swirls of tape delay and reverb. Author Ari Rosenschein described the project by saying, “like other self-aware tunesmiths, Eliot knows that good tremolo guitar and song chops go a long way.”
