SEX WITHOUT BODIES

Against the tide of hip-hop, electronic dance music, and indie-rock, which dominated the airwaves of the late 90s, Daves True Story, a Big Apple duo comprised of singer Vicky Flint and guitarist and songwriter David Cantor, flew the flag for a cool alternative: jazz-inflected hipster pop. Cantors songs on Sex Without Bodies, the groups Chesky Records debut, are witty, cinematic, erudite, cultured, and peppered with literary references. Highlights include the finger-clicking title track - which offers a humorous slant on virtual sex - the evocative Neds Big Dutch Wife, about a woman leading a shocking double life, and an adroit, jazzy cover of Lou Reeds classic Walk On The Wild Side. Bolstered with new liner notes, Sex Without Bodies is reissued in 2026 as part of the Chesky Original Masters series on 180g One Step Pressing Vinyl LP and SACD Hybrid Stereo.
