Docile Bodies "Sculptures In Motion"

Sculptures in Motion is the first physical release from Dutch post-punk band Docile Bodies, compiling their Arc EP, the Decadence and Only This singles, and their Live at Effenaar set. This collection captures the group’s early evolution, showcasing the tension and atmosphere that would soon define their debut full-length.

Docile Bodies draw from the lineage of Joy Division, The Cure, and contemporary European post-punk while carving a sound uniquely their own—driven basslines and stark percussion underpin Sjoerd Aarden’s commanding vocals and poetic lyricism. Across the release, their interplay of precision and raw emotion makes clear why the band has quickly become a rising name in the scene.

Compiled and released by à La Carte Records, Sculptures in Motion offers both a retrospective look at Docile Bodies’ formative years and an essential entry point for new listeners.
