"Bodys" is a Will Toledo song from Twin Fantasy, the album he released as Car Seat Headrest on November 2, 2011, and later renamed Twin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror). It was his sixth solo album under the alias, and the first he dreamed up and wrote as a whole album rather than a stack of songs, a shift that came out of writing "Beach Life-in-Death". He started on it in mid-2011, after isolation and anxiety pushed him to transfer from Virginia Commonwealth University to the College of William and Mary.
Toledo played and produced every bit of it himself, and with next to no resources the record came out gloriously lo-fi. Its audience found it online, where a cult following built up with 4chan and Reddit doing much of the heavy lifting, and in 2018 Matador put out a re-recording of the album.
