Toronto duo Intensive Care (Andrew Nolan and Ryan Bloomer) and Rhode Island duo The Body (Chip King and Lee Buford) have joined forces for the brilliant collaborative album Was I Good Enough? (Closed Casket Activities) out March 14, 2025. With glitchy, bellowing vocals and an icy industrial backbone, these eight tracks showcase the respective pedigrees of their creators while summoning a dynamic and dangerous beast through the distortion.

Today, the album’s pummeling second single “The Riderless Mount” has arrived.  Andrew Nolan from Intensive Care shares that the song is both groups’ “ode to different eras of hip hop. We stripped the song back as much as possible for this, deciding that the first half should be carried primarily by vocal performance and an amplified Roland TR 808 drum machine, at the halfway point when The Body takes over the guitars were slowed down significantly, imported into a sampler, and chopped up and rearranged on the pads.”  He continues, “Chip’s vocals were recorded in the green room on Nolan’s iPhone before a show that both bands were playing.”
