Bodi Bill [bɔdi bɪl] is an experimental electronica band, based in Berlin, Germany.[1]

History

The band was formed by Fabian Fenk, Anton K. Feist and Alex Stolze in 2005.[2] Their style of music contains elements of techno, art-rock, glitch and folk.

No More Wars was the first album that got published in 2007 via the berlin-based independent label Sinnbus.[3] Just one year after a new album Next Time was released.

The third album Two in One got international attention as it is said to "achieve […] something new to the table, an indie band that have been influenced by their musical surroundings. It just so happens that it’s German Techno and its many variations. It’s not club music. But it’s not meant to be, they have brought indie and electronic music together in a perfect balance." [4]

What? [5] was Bodi Bill's fourth album before they decided to take a break in 2011. After that, Alex Stolze formed, in collaboration with Mariechen Danz, Thomas Fietz and Mathias Geserick, the band UNMAP. Meanwhile, Anton K. Feist and Fabian Fenk chose to continue working as a duo under the name of The/Das.[6]

Reception
