Shadow Basket will take listeners on a road trip from Colorado to Oregon, California to Alaska, and right back on home, wherever that is. Their first EP “The Dog Bed,” released under the artist name Body Language, is a showcase of their stripped down instrumentation, intimate lyricism, and bare bones harmonies. Their music is a home-brewed project of sounds and lyrics collected and co-authored by Jacey LaManna and Kyle Lutz. Live show arrangement ebbs and flows with Lutz and LaManna swapping among guitar, bass, vocals, and mandolin. Collaborators on drums, bass, and vocals often join onstage.

Shadow Basket is meant to be shared and given out among friends, like a stone soup at the potluck. Friends of the soup have described the music as raw, complex, magnetic, dynamic, foot stomping, and drenched in love. Much is owed to the undertow of music as it exists to itself.
