The Body & Dis Fig performed live on the opening night of Le Guess Who? 2024. Relive the full, overwhelming - sonically as well as physically - performance below.
A crossover between American duo The Body, who have been tinkering with noise and metal since 1999, and Berlin-based DJ, producer, and vocalist Felicia Chen (AKA Dis Fig) was bound to make the earth shake. Sure enough, ‘Orchards of a Futile Heaven’, the collaboration’s first outing, sent seismic ripples reverberating throughout the heavy music scene.
