Hands
Thu 28 Jan 2010
Rainbow Flex
Adventurous two-piece Hands will instantly spark your creative imagination. Originally from Philadelphia and now based in Los Angeles, Geoffrey Halliday and Ryan James Sweeney are all about wide angled tribal rhythms, decorum toe tapping drums and they sprinkle everything with a dose of metropolitan airiness. They dabble in folk, electronic pop and even lash out with some atmospheric swirls of shoegaze. Placed in the same league as Rainbow Arabia and Lucky Dragons due to their experimental nature, Hands also has an accessible pop streak similar to artists like The Unicorns and The Zookeepers, which sees them hopping rather than drifting.
The duo self-released their first EP Cities in May 2008, and has a new single titled ‘Hold’ due for release on February 26 via German record label Headphonica. The track is bound to make a splash as it’s packed full of hooks and relaxing acoustic rhythms.
