Ben Gregory announces his forthcoming EP, Bodied

Bodied, is an intimate collection of songs detailing the complex relationship we have with our own bodies. These songs emerged during a transformative phase in Gregory’s life, following his relocation to study in Manchester following a deeply personal period marked by a mental health breakdown. The EP represents a move in thematic material, with Gregory delving into the universally relatable concept of our physical selves – a departure from his intimate and autobiographical debut album, episode.

Ben Gregory offers a glimpse into the project today with the release of single "Memoriam".

“"Memoriam" is a song centred on disillusionment over the organs one is granted at birth. During my life I've been saddened by certain archetypes I've felt it impossible to escape: I appreciate such struggles are all-consuming for many people who must remain stoic and indefatigable under the impossible weight of their own forms," Gregory says. "These songs are about bodies and their (non)pliability; trying to lie oblique against archaic parameters; engendering a landscape in which your child need not question which mask they'll wear tomorrow.”

Tracklist:

1. In A Certain Light We All Look The Same
2. Memoriam
3. Heart
4. Pale Pregnant King
