Following 'THE COLOSSALIST' and 'THE GREAT IMMUREMENT' and continuing the death-life commitment to their grave loss, VUKOVAR's final step in their obsessive memorial device to Simon Morris is 'THE BODY ABDICATOR'. With the last twitches of the NeuPopAct, the perpetually reorganizing group have collided and colluded to now present their 10th LP and final part of the Eternity Ends Here triptych; the most ambitious thing attempted by the group and the most wrapped in turmoil. Joined by Gea Philes, this is a metaphysical and esoteric wasteland disguised as a pop album.

OTHER VOICES RECORDS, a label to match the group’s ambition, bring out this third CD of the series of releases in collaboration with world renowned artist Andrzej Klimowski. ‘The Body Abdicator’ is out on the 25th June 2022.

VUKOVAR formed in a crumbling placefiller of a town in 2014. They were always dying and reorganized after cease-to-exist in 2019. Effete artists pretending to be northern hardcases pretending to be uniform fetishists in iconoclast drag. "Do not trust us; we are fragile stars."

More occult than Gothic, the music on The Body Abdicator is filled with helpless and yet also hard-fought poetic romanticism: it’s as if Death In June and Coil had let synth-pop soul music into their hearts. Beautiful lyrics, cathedrals of light no less fall from the parchment. The language of the arcane, of Blake, Dante and countless other romantics and cult figures across time are summoned forth into a new age of anxiety.

From beginning to end, The Body Abdicator is a joy to listen to on Vukovar’s march for well-deserved wider recognition. One day, bands will cite them as a major influence and many will claim to have ‘been there at the beginning.

The Body Abdicator is strange, alien and future facing in the best ways. These qualities mean that it will surely be cited as a source of inspiration.
Blending the despondent with the euphoric and the past with the future, Vukovar creates an album that will remain timeless and utterly curious for every listener through the future ages. This is a display of true artistic talent. In creating their musical memorial, they have not only succeeded their goal of creating a striking testament to Simon Morris but a testament to their visionary and unique musical world.

If the IQ of an artist got them to the top of the charts, Vukovar would be unstoppable in their ascent. Anyone with an affinity for existential philosophy, Echo and the Bunnymen, House of Love and The Chameleons won’t want to let this luminously talented act slip them by. One hit and the swoon-worthy single will affably haunt you for a lifetime.
