Methods Body’s groundbreaking second record, Plural Not Possessive, is an opus against the algorithm—ranging from 22 seconds to 15 minutes in duration, these five tracks reveal lush ecosystems woven out of the duo’s spontaneous compositions.
John Niekrasz (drums, voice) and Luke Wyland (keys, electronics, voice) create musical and technological strategies that force them to break old habits and patterns. Extrinsic song forms and standardized meters fall away. Time becomes a physical substance sculpted to alter the listener’s emotional experience. Wyland channels his life-long stutter into a music of broken speech. There are lost languages in this record—it is haunted by artifacts the musicians can’t explain.
