One of the tracks featured on Slight Variations is “New Body Language,” which The Hype Magazine is proud to be premiering the video of. Per Fujiya & Miyagi’s David Best to The Hype via email: “‘New Body Language’ is probably the most instant and accessible song on the record. We took a lot of our current listening habits and put them in a blender till it turned out like us. The video Bob Brown and I made plays with the idea of perception. How we appear to ourselves is generally not how we are perceived by others.”
