Bodies of Water is a band from the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, signed to independent record label Secretly Canadian. The core group consists of married couple David and Meredith Metcalf. However, the band often plays LA shows with five or more additional musicians, such as horn players, an additional drummer, and strings. All members of the band sing, including players added for local shows.

Bodies of Water's first EP and album was reviewed favorably by music critics such as Pitchfork Media and Rolling Stone magazine's New Music blog. Critics often compare their music to that of Ennio Morricone, Arcade Fire, The Mamas & the Papas, and label-mate Danielson. In interviews, the band lists gospel groups and Tropicalia musicians among its influences.

Bodies of Water's first full-length album Ears Will Pop & Eyes Will Blink was originally released on Bodies of Water's own Thousand Tongues label, and was only available in a few stores, at live shows, or directly from the band via their website. After Secretly Canadian signed Bodies of Water, the label re-released the album nationally on January 22, 2008.

The band's second album, titled A Certain Feeling, was released July 22, 2008 to generally favorable reviews.

2.52 min. | 4.91 user rating		 For families living along the Cauvery River on the outskirts of Trichy, India, the seasonal flow of water is directly tied to their livelihood. In the spring time the river subsides and women can be seen bathing and washing both their family and for-hire laundry. This afternoon hundreds of women were washing and hang drying laundry. There isn't much concern for knowing the up and downstream quality or cleanliness of the river - it is there for those who wish to use it. When we look to solve the water crisis we start with the understanding that safe water is used for more than drinking alone. You need it for cooking and cleaning as well. And while we're addressing the safe water issue we also know that without hygiene education and improved sanitation solutions programming will never have a long-term positive impact.
