BODY SOUND, released March 20, sees the Chicago trio reaffirming “the pleasure of collective music-making in contemplative improvisations that are both patient and restorative” (Pitchfork). It’s an album full of “rewarding mysteries with an electrifying emotional directness” (SPIN). Read more about BODY SOUND via Aquarium Drunkard or The Chicago Reader.
“BODY SOUND is an immersive effort that finds magic and wonder in common objects and situations.” -All Music
“A powerful debut full of depth, melancholy, and triumph from three of Chicago’s most interesting experimental artists.” -KLOF
“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
“They can all play multiple instruments expertly, and on this shared work, track by track, they enter a collective flow state.” -The Tonearm
“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
“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
