SHARES NEW SINGLE WE CAME TO PLAY

KICKING OFF INTERNATIONAL LEG OF GLOBAL TOUR NEXT MONTH

TROUBLE THE WATER  DUE OCTOBER 28 VIA LOMA VISTA RECORDINGS

TORONTO, ON – September 14, 2022 – New York City's own, Show Me The Body, announces their third full-length album, Trouble The Water, due October 28 via Loma Vista Recordings. Along with the album's announcement, Show Me The Body shares We Came To Play, the second offering from the forthcoming album, which arrives with a visualizer portraying the creation of the album artwork. Listen here and watch the music video here. Pre-order Trouble The Water here. 

Recorded entirely at CORPUS studios in Long Island City and produced with Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Turnstile, Municipal Waste), Trouble The Water is the culmination of nearly a decade of barrelling against New York City’s structural ambivalence and indifference; an invocation to a like-minded global community to consider the alchemy of family-building, and of turning water to blood. The 12-tracks of Trouble The Water both reference and pay homage to the physical city, and the New York Sound: not one particular genre, but the people and subcultures that encapsulate its true foundation, style, and spirit; while expanding upon and reckoning with the hyperlocal territory of 2019’s Dog Whistle, which features the standout track Arcanum. 

Although the title invokes the ancient alchemy Moses wielded to free and unite Israelite peoples, Trouble The Water refuses nostalgia or mimicry. Instead, it considers the sublime power of the unifying physical practices that can be enacted daily, to invoke immeasurable spiritual and collective reactions. Buoyed by moments of stinging stillness and compulsive, almost optimistic, malfunctioning rhythms, the work is literally a conjuration to dance, and move. If we are really living through the end of the world, maybe every movement we make, no matter how slight, is actually boundless and radical.

Next month, Show Me The Body will continue their global tour off the heels of their inaugural, bi-coastal IN BROAD DAYLIGHT festival, North American leg, and explosive set at Sound & Fury. After performing at Desert Daze and Nothing Fest IV in California this October, Show Me The Body will begin the 15-date European run with support from Powerplant in Vechta, Germany on October 21 with stops in Hamburg, Berlin, Zürich and Verona before wrapping up in London on November 7. Show Me The Body will also take the world tour to Australia for four dates in December hitting Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. Tickets available here.

Show Me The Body is an ecclesiastical hardcore trio consisting of Julian Cashwan Pratt (founder; banjo and vocals), Harlan Steed (founder; bass), and Jackie McDermott (current drummer). The band, originally started in 2009, have released a handful of EPs and two groundbreaking studio albums in 2016's Body War and the aforementioned 2019 release Dog Whistle. They have organized non-traditional, intentional DIY spaces for NYC youth since 2015, and since expanded that work to a global capacity through their urgent, ceremonial live shows, subterranean punk and hip-hop mixed tours, and their CORPUS NYC platform. Through the intentional cultivation of their local and global chosen families, and a decade-long dedication to sustaining the New York Sound, Show Me The Body has solidified a legacy of confronting and permanently shifting the rigid limitations of the hardcore genre.
