Homebody

Home Body is Eric Hnatow and Haley Morgan.

Based in western Massachusetts, fever-pop duo Home Body ignores convention with their vivid blend of new wave, industrial and electronic music, performed from the gut with wild abandon and art-school-cool theatricality. Balancing textured layers of glitzy synthesizers, focused rhythms, and tectonic bass with strong, stormy femme vocals, the duo creates a visceral sonic landscape that feels equal parts cosmic, fleshy and electric. Emerging from the vibrant Western Mass music scene, Home Body plays with form and improvisation while retaining a strong pop sensibility and demanding presence. Live, the duo punctuates their sound with dance and manual light manipulation, reaching beyond their performance to create a high-vibration spectacle that is physically and emotionally moving.

A strong fixture in the New England underground and actively touring nationally since 2011, the duo continues to expand the boundaries and depth of “pop” music and DIY culture. Drawing comparisons to The Knife, Sylvan Esso, and early Eurythmics, Home Body has supported acts such as Girl Talk, Dan Deacon, Downtown Boys, And The Kids, Guerilla Toss, Marco Benevento and Reptar. In addition to releasing their debut album In Real Life on Feeding Tube Records and a follow up EP Guts this past summer, the duo had scored fashion shows and dance performances and has made music for films and commercials.
