The bands name is "The Hundred In The Hands". They're Disco-House-Pop and Psychedelic influences have not only entranced my obsession but have allowed me to release a sigh of musical relief. Why, you ask? Well, it feels like it has been light years since such a raw group has formed in such an informal manner. With inspirations derived from French House, Post-Punk, De La Soul vintage hip-hop and 60’s mod, garage & girl groups, The Hundred In The Hands (which I once featured in my "Musique Digs Playlist") Duo write and produce all their material themselves.
They've described their process of making musique as, " Keeping our eyes and ears open absorbing the lessons of the pop classics, folding the present into the past toward the future to create dub histories; Avant-pop split between the austere and feverish." Adding, " One or the other brings in the foundation of a new track or lyrics and the two of us add to it, writing as we record, offsetting the precision of electronic production with analog machines, combining live loose guitars, vocals and percussion with stiff and exact programming. We have our influences but we try to keep it fresh and avoid pastiche".
