Listen: Hands Daytrotter Session
Los Angeles-based indie
rock band Hands are excited to get back on the road this fall. Hands
will be touring in support of their debut full-length album, Synesthesia, out now on Kill Rock Stars. The band will be supporting On And On and the upcoming tour will also include a stop at Portland's MusicFest NW. Hands stopped by Daytrotter earlier this spring and the newly recorded session is available to download here.
A
relative newcomer to the LA scene, Hands began as a two-piece from
Philadelphia before Halliday and Sweeney headed west and added the low
and thump of Hess and Staniloff. The band made a mark on the scene
immediately, quickly playing packed shows across the country including
stops at SXSW, CMJ, Deluna Fest and Los Angeles' Echo Park Rising.
Hands' ability to win over fans with their feverish live show and
dance-party-ready sound has already earned them opening spots for the
likes of Deerhoof, DeVotchKa, Foster the People, WAVVES, Geographer, White Arrows, Maps and Atlases and Kimbra as well as playing shows to sold out crowds at venues across LA.
For now, Hands' graceful and danceable indie rock is still under the radar, as evidenced by their spot in TIME Magazine's 11 Bands You Don't Know (But Should) List, but they are quickly rising to the surface, bringing their melodies and thumping beats with them. Stereogum recently said, "If you're a fan of Hot Chip or Tanlines,
this is your band to follow in 2013." Over the past year, Hands has
built a devoted following for their evolving palette of sounds, soaring
melodies, and complex looping song structures. With overwhelming
responses to first listens of the record and Hands hitting the road for
most of 2013, surely this is the year that Hands will start to make
waves.
