Almost three years in the making, ‘Spiritus’ is our most personal and expansive release yet, ruminating on darkness, the light, and all the tiny intangible shifts that add up to transformation and change. Entirely self-produced, ‘Spiritus’ attempts to capture the energy of our live performances paired with the emotional depth of our 13 year relationship. A departure from our previous releases, in terms of content and production, we followed our delight to it’s core, slowing down the process, inviting spaciousness and reflection, isolating all the drum parts, and sculpting sonic depth with background vocals and supportive synths. Lush with character and detail, these eight new tracks display vivid moments of ecstatic high energy melting into moments of soft expansion, coaxed along by ghostly textured synths, momentum mounting, spirit settling.

Thanks to a collaboration with 2 labels – Peace + Rhythm and Feeding Tube Records – ‘Spiritus’ will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digitally April 26, 2019. Pre-order yours today!

We’re hugely hyped to be playing the After Dark party in a transformed warehouse for the Camden International Film Festival in Rockland, Maine this Friday! These parties are legendary…and we have more than a few tricks up our sleeves… so grip those tickets ASAP !

(ps. it’s also Haley’s birthday weekend so…)

New video alert!

Earlier this year we collaborated with Vilkas on the creation of this music video for our song “Little Things”. Inspired by Home Body’s live DIY light show in which Haley uses hand-held faders and foot switches to manipulate the lights, the video centers around the spectacle of illumination. Shot on an unseasonably balmy evening in a sprawling warehouse a couple blocks away from our home in Greenfield, Mass, the video combines Home Body’s own light gadgetry with the production company’s arsenal of projectors, fog machines, LED’s, antique lamp, and even a custom built hand fader (made out of an old Altoids container!). Just as Eric improvises with knobs and buttons on his synthesizers throughout the song, Haley manipulates the lighting schemes, both of us punctuating the track’s emotional peaks and valleys vibrationally – through sound and light.

A battle cry of sorts, “Little Things” is about overcoming personal obstacles, structural inequalities, capitalism, and cycles of oppression together. “Little things are not so small, add us up and watch them fall down…I’ll never be won, I’ll never be one!”

“Little Things” is going to be on our forthcoming album (!!), which is really, really close to being done – we’re mixing the last few songs as we speak! We’re thrilled with how these new recordings sound and can’t wait to share our most personal, shadowy, and lush record yet.

Been spending all winter mixing our new album, but the time has come to emerge from our cozy chrysalises to play some shows out in the wild! Hope to see you soon!
