Body Meta Work Is Slow CD

Body Meta is the NYC-based quartet made up of Greg Fox (drums), Sasha Frere-Jones (guitar), Melvin Gibbs (bass), and Grey McMurray (guitar) - a team of musicians who've each built catalogs of projects falling on the axes of experimental music, jazz / fusion, and “rock" of all flavors. Their first full-length album The Work Is Slow quietly emerged in a digital edition in December, 2020, and Hausu Mountain is honored to release its first physical editions. The quartet's music sits under the wide umbrella of instrumental rock, built on fluid structures of extended repetition, propulsive rhythmic interplay, and texture-focused performance. Though Body Meta could potentially take on the mantle of a "supergroup," given their individual pedigrees, the members look at the project as the culmination of years of friendship through shared social circles in New York City, which organically took shape as they established their own vocabulary as an ensemble.
