Living Body – indie/pop rock from Chicago/UK featuring Katie Harkin of Sleater-Kinney / Wild Beasts
Living Body is the new project from Leeds-based Chicagoan Jeff T. Smith (formerly, Juffage) featuring longtime collaborators Katie Harkin (Harkin, Sky Larkin, Wild Beasts, Sleater-Kinney, Flock of Dimes) and Tom Evans (Vessels). Rising from the ashes of their acclaimed “Sonic Cauldron” concert at Left Bank Leeds in 2013, the group is now augmented by new and additional live members Alice Rowan (Mayshe-Mayshe) & Sarah Statham (Esper Scout). Expanding on the need for music to bring joy into the lives of others, and Smith’s fascination with the contortion of the pop song into a uniquely imaginative and immediate form, Living Body aims to exist in a world of skin and information overload in 2017.
“More than adequate proof of both their political intent and their rejection of genre constraints … worth keeping an eye out for into 2017 and beyond.” – Drowned in Sound
“Living Body are THE most exciting thing happening in the UK music scene for me at present.” – the Skinny
“Body is Working is a fascinating curio of an album, and quite beautiful in its complexities.” – God Is In the TV Zine
