ABOUT FORMER BODIES
We are Former Bodies. We started off in a homemade recording space in the bedroom of an apartment in a small Northern Michigan town during the peak of the 2020 pandemic. We are composed of Alton Minor who handles the music and production alongside myself, Lauren Frances. Alton has an extensive history with humble beginnings as a bass guitarist in his formative years. He then went on to play in multiple bands for around a decade, playing hundreds of shows and recording multiple releases. Being longtime companions, he managed to encourage and inspire me to try laying some vocals down on some songs he was working on. I was reluctant and shy with my voice at first, but I knew I could do it. Together we began tapping into my longtime, private talent of singing and dreaming up melodies. With our mixed skills and abilities, we pieced together the best of ourselves into this new project. We hope you'll love us just as much as we have loved exploring our limits and those deep down things within us that we express in our music. We hope you find your own meaning in our efforts.
