Reflections

Description

Founded in 2010, on the ashes of Los Santos, an ultra-local band well recognized by the veterans of the Perpignan scene, The Hands is a quartet with its roots as much in the modern garage scene of the mid-2000s (like Jack Of Heart, Movie Star Junkies or The Intelligence) as in more classic groups such as the Gun Club, Joy Division or Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. After two self-produced albums, "On The Words" (2014) and "We Are Other Men" (2016) and a few European tours, their third album, "Reflections", finally arrives in 2022 after six years of absence. Recorded by their friend Renaud Picard (Crank, Hair & The Iotas), mixed by Briane Blanc (the band's singer) and mastered by Luis Mazzoni at Vintage Sound Studio, this third album is perhaps their mostly anticipated and surely their best so far. Alternating between heady tracks like "Thanks" or "In The Middle" and softer songs like "We Are So Lame" and "Seven Years", the group reveals their real identity throughout the ten songs of this album. As always self-produced for their own label Broken Arm Records, "Reflections" will be released in collaboration with Staubgold and Cougouyou Music.
