I live in a loud house with a bunch of musicians, so I get the
benefit of constantly being introduced to new beats and sounds. If you
can handle loud midnight recording sessions in the living room,
spiderwebs of monster cables all over the house and a new roommate every
two months due to touring schedules, and are really passionate at all
about music, LIVE WITH MUSICIANS, something new is always happening or
being created. Which is completely welcome in this new boring 9-6
lifestyle I'm living now/in denial about. Yay for my false adulthood.
So a couple of months ago I headed to The Silent Barn in Bushwick for a lil show and ended up falling in love with My Body.
My Body is a band hailing from Portland, Darren on percussive beats and
Jordan's vocals and melodies. Together they create an R&B-inspired
dreamscape that rolled over my eardrums like candy. Jordan's vocals have
a very subtle country styling as they float over perfectly designed
percussion. Performing next to Silent Barns's glowing moon made
everything so dreamy.
I got to catch them a second time last week at Glasslands,
and watching them play below the undulating light pipe installations
was like being transported to an underwater coral reef with a
soundtrack. They don't have an EP yet, but I'm definitely getting it as
soon as it comes out. It's the type of music that I could sit down and
design a collection to.
Check out their video New Cat below!
