REMAIN drops on June 12th! The first full-length trio record by Holland Andrews + Methods Body (Luke Wyland and John Niekrasz), REMAIN is a document of improvisation at the highest level: a radical act of love and trust. Emergent, urgent, and atmospheric art-pop that is grounded in humanity and concern, while occupying astral spaces and hypnagogic realms. Recorded by Katie Von Schleicher at Shahzad Ismaily's Figure 8 studios in Brooklyn, mixed and mastered by Aron Sanchez and Luke Wyland, and available on vinyl or digital from Whited Sepulchre Records. Thanks to @thehollerfundorg for the support! Visuals by Allie Hankins. Pre-order now at L!nk in our B!o.

REMAIN is a lightning-in-a-bottle document –– the full-length, living outgrowth of a sold-out 2024 collaborative performance at NYC’s Issue Project Room by the trio of 2025 Guggenheim Fellow Holland Andrews and Portland, OR-based duo Methods Body (John Niekrasz and Luke Wyland).
Like the best improvised music, the pieces that comprise this record hardly feel off-the-cuff. Brimming with uncanny intersections of sleight-of-hand grooves and Holland’s deeply stirring vocalizations and lyrical, ecstatic keenings, this is improvisation at the highest level: a radical act of love and trust. The results are a kind of emergent, urgent, atmospheric art pop, grounded in humanity and concern, but occupying astral spaces and hypnagogic realms.
MEET OUR PERFORMERS 🎤 Methods Body
Methods Body channels the non-traditional tunings of Terry Riley, the experimental energy of Éliane Radigue and Silver Apples, and the refracted electronics of Aphex Twin into a sound entirely their own.
METHODS BODY (Portland, OR) creates original sound art and music using custom tuning systems, involuted polyrhythms, and the cadences of language. John Niekrasz (Ecstatic Peace, ESP-Disk') and Luke Wyland (The Leaf Label, Hometapes, Crammed Records) use bespoke live-sampling technologies and meta-cognitive compositions to inhabit waves of subliminal melody and deep, uncanny grooves.
