Today's free MP3 is by Florida's Clock Hands Strangle and the track As Is

Clock Hands Strangle hail from the semi-moist, manatee ridden state of Florida. The same state that has given us such horrendous acts such as Limp Bizkit, Creed, and 'N Sync. All jokes aside, it is fascinating that such a well versed, literate bunch of indie folk/roots rockers would spring up from a state that has devalued it's grade school education system in hopes of retaining it's larger population of retirees and tourists.

One of the newer labels in the city just happens to be Chocolate lab Records . One of there upcoming releases is the second album of Florida's Clock Hands Strangle called Distaccati .

Clock Hands Strangle 's Red Shift/Blue Shift is a folk rock space exploration of the mind and the heart. On this voyage, the band illuminate the phenomena of expansion, contraction, alienation, reconciliation. They highlight the irony that growth and learning can lead to distance and solitude - how our experience and accumulation of knowledge can ultimately make us feel infinitesimal. And they explore the ways our minds try to make sense of it all. Don't let Redshift/Blueshift's philosophical density turn you off. As rich as the songwriting is, the music is [...]

And I can sum up the record in one word: Fascinating. Starting with the opening cut off side one, "Redshift," which feels like the [...]
