Unph! This song sounds like something from 2005ish, when music had more 'sneer' and seemed to waft up from smoky sweaty city clubs. I don't know if this bio is real, I mean what's real anymore... Idle Hands' brothers Ciaran and Criostoir are from Minneapolis by way of Ireland. The name of their latest album is Life Is Beautiful , a phrase they clearly did not run through Javier Bardem's spellcheck . (via KEXP) Idle Hands: Socialite Death Squad.mp3 [...]
It's so cool that volumes one and two of the Best Songs of 2011 mixtape series have been such a huge hit - literally tens of thousands of page views in just a few weeks. Today's mixtape marks the third volume of the top 2011 songs series. If you didn't have a chance yet, it's [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Artwork by Eskimo Square [ Idle Hands ] Idle Hands have a burgeoning reputation for releasing twisted and subbed out house music from a small group of Bristolian producers. With the exception of Szare's recent platter, the emphasis has been on slow-burning tracks at a low pace (around 110 bpm). However, this new 123 from AnD is a more energetic affair, [...]

Whether you're going to the Big Four show at Yankee Stadium tomorrow and wanna start pre-gaming early or you're just in the NYC area and looking for something fun to do this evening, do not forget: we're teaming up with Metal Injection, Metal Insider, and Metal Army to throw a massive Big 4 pre-party at our favorite bar, Idle Hands. John [...]
Alex Digard , the man behind the excellent Tape Echo blog, is having an exhibition at Idle Hands tomorrow night. As the name suggests, Alex is very much focussed on the joys and frustrations of working with actual physical media. He photographs to film (and it's certainly quite weird these days to have a shoot with a photographer and not be able to instantly look at the results on the 4" digi screen and say 'oh yeah let's do that one again') and prefers his music on vinyl, but beyond this, all the [...]

C r&b намеком на Kingdom, hi-fi техно семлами в стиле Scuba, строгой немецкой эстетикой, но юкей фанки свингом, новый релиз Szare на Idle Hands определенно найдет новых поклонников для обоих, что продюсера, что лейбла - они в этом году проделывают просто таки отличную работу. Заслужили! 1. Volya 2. Action Five p.s. приобрести винил можно на boomkat , а диджитал - на juno .
Get intimate with Idle Hands .

Minneapolis based The Idle Hands just released their third album, the EP Life is Beautiful on The Pretty Kids Collective, and IODA. The Minneapolis band is made up of Irish ex-pats and Midwest natives. So who are The Idle Hands and how did they come to be? As the story goes, Front-man Ciaran and his brother Criostoir (bass) left the Emerald Isle and found themselves in a land of frozen snow, holed up in a studio making music with their friends. The boy/girl/boy/girl/boy line-up is rounded out by Eileen (keys), her traveling companion Emma (guitar), and [...]

Since Life is Beautiful , The Idle Hands ' most recent release is only five songs long, why not address the album track by track 1) "Socialite Death Squad" Anyone that has ever had lasagna can attest to the fact that it is always better the second day, even if it's really good the first time. This head bobbing, guitar riff driven song is just like lasagna, good upon first listening, but continues to get better as it is listened to over again. 2) "Dead Letter" Punk songs have to be gritty [...]
Idle Hands is a badman label . It is now also a badman shop . They have released records by people like Peverelist , Headhunter , Atki 2 and Kowton . Kowton also works in the shop . They all live together in a big house made of techno , although the windows are made of house , and the doors have a certain weight to them that carries the hint of dubstep . So without any further ado, [...]

Sometime around late January I realized I was completely and utterly bored with my music archive. To shake things up I'm trying an experiment: for the remainder of 2011 I will only listen to music released in 2011. This is an account of the year. This Week's Past Purchases Observant readers probably noticed I did not post last week. March 8 put the weak in week - there wasn't a single thing I thought was worth buying. However, the 15th bounced back strong and we've [...]
One of the great things about an actual record shop is the ability to do actual stuff there, with actual people. So tonight, if you're around in the Bristol area, why not pop into Idle Hands on Stokes Croft and catch DJ Stryda (Bristol and beyond dub legend) playing in store, from 6pm tonight. He'll also have a proper selection of the latest and greatest heavy steppers for sale, so get involved. DOT.live 002 - DJ Stryda - Live @ Mr Wolfs [...]
With the exception of The Dodo's awesome new album - No Color ($2.99 on Amazon for limited time with bonus track) - there really isn't any big release this week in terms of music that is mainly identified as "indie" - depending on what indie really means to you.
