about
First track recorded for album sessions. Title inspired by a Whitman poem. Wrote and completed this piece in 2011, reworked for this 2012 release.
This piece proved to be the mold for the rest of the record. Its simple & sparse cascading motif, and the way I improvised on it slightly with each repetition, influenced the way I handled the composition and recording of all subsequent material on The Body Begins. I wanted to make something slow, full of deep breath; serene without being somnolent.

Jess Hotchkiss' music is honest, pure, urgent. A tiny clearing outside of town, 3 AM, unidentifiable animals watching you from between trees. This LP to me summarizes her tremendous talent and power. C.Way
Healthy dark racket, massive drum clatter, gorgeous-ugly guitar squall. Thrilling live shows. Go listen to their cover of Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home a Heartache". C.Way
Fans of Tindersticks, Beach Boys, great melodies & sonic splendor:flock to these songs of disarming tenderness, glorious moodiness, & sparkling songcraft.Standout: the swelling grandeur of "Winter". C.Way
Taking tradition full-on, the Kentucky cellist touches genres as far afield as folk and R&B with his iconoclastic compositions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 4, 2016
