Beatings Are In The Body — Beatings Are In The Body

Out: May 26th, 2023 on For the Living and the Dead (LP/CD/ DL)
Beatings Are In The Body : BANDCAMP | LINKTREE

ABOUT: Beatings Are In The Body is a powerful and enigmatic new project from three of Canada’s leading figures in experimental music—Vancouver-based pianist, composer, and improviser Róisin Adams (of Hildegard’s Ghost), Montréal-based experimental vocalist and composer Erika Angell (of Thus Owls), and fellow Vancouverite Peggy Lee—a renowned cellist, composer and improviser. As their name indicates, there’s a raw, volatile dimension to the music they create; it’s an investigation of how memories, pain, and a spectrum of emotions are stored in and continue to be carried by our physical bodies. Their unflinching self-titled debut full-length resides in the dark fissures between adventurous acoustic songcraft, poetry, and the outright abstraction of free improv.
