Bodies (EP)

Bodies is the debut extended play (EP) by Australian pop rock singer-songwriter, Celia Pavey. It was announced on 4 August 2014, along with a tour of Australia's east coast. The four-track EP was released on 29 August 2014 via Universal Music Australia.[2] In an interview, Pavey reflected, "I'm a very honest person so I like to write about real things that are happening in my life rather than make up stories. I write a lot about the people in my life. Most of my songs are about love or the habits people share."[3] Chart analyst Gavin Ryan predicted the EP would reach the Australian ARIA top 40 albums chart,[4] however it did not.

Review

Riley Ackley, the Promotional Director for The Oswegonian, gave the EP 4.5 out of 5, and explained "[it] is a beautiful four track debut. Focusing heavily on acoustics and Pavey's angel-like melodies, each song off of Bodies will carry listeners into a day dream trance." adding, "Overall, [it] is near perfection. As an EP, its glossy set-up paired with Pavey's celestial voice makes it one of the most prominent EP releases of the year. [Her work] is proof that there is more to be done in the folk-singer-songwriter genre. Other artists beware, because they'll soon pale in comparison."[5]

Venue operator, Lizotte's advertiser wrote, "This studio introduction to Celia's honest and adventurous folk songwriting sweeps through that flat, ghostly landscape and into sonically lush territory" adding "[she] sings of young loss and desire with a voice that has already captured international attention."[6] In a review of the EP and its live tour, Chloe Webb of Reverb Magazine said "Pavey has truly found her place musically, a meticulous combination of rambling folk and easy listening indie-pop."[7]
