Today, Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart release their debut album as a trio, BODY SOUND, on all streaming platforms (following its March 20 release on LP, CD, and digital download).
“Rewarding mysteries with an electrifying emotional directness.” -SPIN
“The Chicago trio reaffirms the pleasure of collective music-making in contemplative improvisations that are both patient and restorative.” -Pitchfork
“There’s a closeness to Johnson, Kohl, and Stewart’s playing that makes it difficult to tease out their viol, cello, and violin; their voices occasionally trail their instruments like shadows.” -Futurism Restated
“BODY SOUND is an immersive effort that finds magic and wonder in common objects and situations.” -All Music
“A heady synthesis of spontaneity, experimentation and compositional mettle, BODY SOUND has such emotional resonance that it shakes the foundation of soul and body.” -Treble
“A powerful debut full of depth, melancholy, and triumph from three of Chicago’s most interesting experimental artists.” -KLOF
“A slow unraveling of sonic threads, and as it moves, each string finds purchase across our skin.” -Foxy Digitalis
“At once engagingly familiar and aesthetically invigorating.” -I Care If You Listen
