Body Language is an American electronic/alternative music group formed in 2008 in Hartford, Connecticut, consisting of Matthew Young, Grant Wheeler, Angelica Bess, and Ian Chang.
[1] Body Language was originally formed by Young and Wheeler when they started making dance music and remixes for a weekly party they curated at a bar called Vegas Blvd in Hartford.
[2] After working with Passion Pit, they started writing their second EP Social Studies late in the summer of 2009.
After the completion of their studio, they started cowriting sessions with Kenny Vasoli, which marked the beginning of the band Vacationer.
The side project Big Friendly Giant was started by Young on the road inspired by the instrumental hip hop of J Dilla, Mux Mool and Two Fresh.
Wheeler and Young were writing and producing Vacationer's follow up record Relief for much of the year.
