Body Me\u03c0a\u00a0<\/b>is the New York-based quartet of\u00a0Greg Fox<\/b>\u00a0(drums),\u00a0Sasha Frere-Jones\u00a0<\/b>(guitar),\u00a0Melvin Gibbs<\/b>\u00a0(bass), and\u00a0Grey McMurray<\/b>\u00a0(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.\u00a0Prayer in Dub<\/i><\/b>, their second release on Hausu Mountain, follows the band\u2019s 2020 album\u00a0The Work Is Slow<\/i><\/b>. While\u00a0Body Me\u03c0a\u00a0<\/b>recorded much of\u00a0Prayer in Dub<\/i><\/b>\u00a0within the same period that followed their formation and first LP\u2019s 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 \u201cNew York City body music.\u201d Their work engages with the physicality of \u201crock band\u201d 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h5>\n
