With “Bodybag,” Modestep kick off their Give Up The Ghost album era in full throttle. It’s a track that digs deep into their roots while dragging their sound into darker, heavier territory — less polished, more punishing, and refreshingly unbothered by genre boundaries. The first half hits like a warped love letter to early dubstep and 80s synth grit — thick with distorted leads, reverb-soaked snares, and a weighty, driving low-end.
