Home Body is Eric Hnatow and Haley Morgan. Fever-pop duo Home Body ignores convention with their vivid blend of electronic, new wave, and experimental pop music, performed from the gut with wild abandon and art-school-cool theatricality. Balancing textured layers of juicy synthesizers, gritty beats, and tectonic bass with spirited, stormy vocals, synthesist Eric Hnatow and vocalist Haley Morgan create a visceral sonic landscape that feels equal parts cosmic, fleshy and electric. Emerging from the vibrant Western Massachusetts music scene, Home Body plays with form and improvisation while retaining a dreamy 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 buzzing with soul, shadow, and depth. Sweethearts for over twelve years, Hnatow and Morgan have been been making music as Home Body since 2011. The duo’s chemistry and unique sound have garnered an enthusiastic fan base throughout New England and beyond. Drawing comparisons to The Knife, Bjork, Sylvan Esso, and early Eurythmics, Home Body has performed over 500 shows across the North America since their inception, supporting acts such as Dan Deacon, Boy Harsher, Marco Benevento, And The Kids, Guerilla Toss, Pumarosa, and Downtown Boys. In addition to releasing their debut full length In Real Life on Feeding Tube Records, and a follow up EP Guts in 2014, the duo has scored fashion shows and dance performances and has made music for films and commercials. Home Body is currently finishing up a new full length album, to be released in 2018. – “Superbly talented…Haley Morgan and Eric Hnatow rewrite the basic DNA of electro-pop for their own nefarious purposes…creating purely original vistas of possibility.” – Byron Cooley – “Home Body – Part musical show, part performance art, a Home Body gig is one you’ll never forget. Armed with an arsenal of keyboards, pedals and other musical gadgetry, Eric Hnatow creates a cosmic dance atmosphere that frames vocalist Haley Morgan’s powerful voice and words perfectly. Both members of this this post-techno duo move and dance like no one is watching, which, of course, makes everyone watch with intrigue.” – MassLive – “Morgan dances, crawls around, and manipulates a light show while she sings, creating a seamlessly integrated expression of each song’s moods.” – The Montague Reporter – “Few are able (or even attempt) to bridge the gap between music and visual art as well as Home Body does.” – Pioneer Magazine – “Intelligent approach to construction that never surrenders to the impulse to be merely clever.” – The Wire – “Subtle and piercing…they bring a raw energy to the stage leaving the audience begging for more.” – The Free George -“…theatrical, art-pop glitch without unnecessary weirdness…” – The Noise
