Introducing Living Body– your new favourite super group! A new project built with a collective of renowned musicians creating a must hear master-piece.

Don’t Give Up On Me is the debut single from Living Body, a new project from Leeds-based Chicagoan sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Jeff T. Smith (Juffage), featuring longtime collaborators Katie Harkin (Harkin, Sky Larkin, Sleater-Kinney, Wild Beasts), and Tom Evans (Vessels).

The band have reworked a track and created an orchestration resonating in optimism, from the first listen you are instantly hooked, emotions soar and you beg for the track not to end.

Originally recorded in the late 1990s by Empress, a Leeds band featuring members of Hood and Boyracer, the track was reworked by Living Body in January 2016.  Don’t Give Up On Me will be released digitally in the US/CA on Landland and Kingfisher Bluez, and in the UK/EU on Barely Regal Records, with a full length LP to follow later in the year.

In July 2016, Living Body will embark on their first UK tour, augmented by new and additional live members Alice Rowan (MaysheMayshe) and Sarah Statham (Esper Scout, Molars, Ecate).  Expanding on from a solo project, Living Body has enabled Smith to explore a more immediate and direct approach to songwriting, further honing his uniquely inimitable patchwork of pop music with noise/drone forms.  Their debut single, Don’t Give Up On Me, is dedicated to hope, optimism, and the European Union.
