Body Meπa – Prayer in Dub – out now!

We’re beyond excited to share our first vinyl release in a long while with the whole HausMo universe. Body Meπa is back in action with their 2nd HausMo album! Prayer in Dub is available on LP (clear vinyl and black vinyl), CD, and digitally via Bandcamp and all the usual culprits.

Body Meπa is the New York-based quartet of Greg Fox (drums), Sasha Frere-Jones (guitar), Melvin Gibbs (bass), and Grey McMurray (guitar). As luminaries in the intersecting traditions of improvised music, rock, jazz, fusion, and contemporary classical music, the four artists have each spent decades building diverse practices that extend beyond sound into multiple disciplines. Prayer in Dub, their second release on Hausu Mountain, follows the band’s 2020 album The Work Is Slow. While Body Meπa recorded much of Prayer in Dub within the same period that followed their formation and first LP’s creation in 2020-2021, the album presents a band whose collective intuition as instrumentalists and live-in-the-room songwriters has deepened with each take that they put to tape. Focused on textural and rhythmic detail, repetition and variation of central motifs, and slowly evolving sessions that find room for improvisation, the quartet hesitate to pin down their amorphous output any further than the broad scope of what they describe as “New York City body music.” Their work engages with the physicality of “rock band” performance while stretching that idiom to its breaking point, all while evoking the environment that brought it to life: the city of New York in all its multitudes, where all four band members grew up.
