They are one of our favorite bands ever...Why? Because of their unique sound and way of "singing", the lyrics and because everything about them is just amazing.. We had the chance to take an interview with the guys for Curt Magazine. LS: You lived in Berlin during the festival season this year. Do you like the city? Have you ever thought about moving here? Why?: Berlin was a wonderful home base during the summer festival season. It's vibrant and cheap and artistically and musically stimulating. In fact [...]

Gli Why? dei fratelli Jonathan "Yoni" Wolf e Josiah Wolf sono una delle band più rappresentative dell'etichetta discografica .anticon una vera e propria autorità nel campo dell'abstract hip hop, ovvero l'hip hop più sperimentale e mischiato con sonorità elettroniche e indie-rock. Il loro ultimo disco è uscito a fine settembre e si intitola "Eskimo Snow". Ho avuto in effetti pochissime occasioni di ascoltare il disco della band californiana ma a dire la verità non mi ha fatto particolarmente una buonissima impressione. Ora è uscito il primo video estratto dall'album ma ha una particolarità. [...]
Desde el sello Anticon , los chicos de Why? nos presentan un video muy particular. Se trata de un clip dividido en 2 partes, pero cada uno con una canción distinta. Los temas que escogidos para este peculiar formato audiovisual son "These Hands" y "January Twenty Something" , ambos correspondientes a su álbum "Eskimo Snow" , y que el director Ben Barnes amalgamó en este clip. Aún no sabemos exactamente porqué surgió la idea de hacer 2 videos en uno, pero de seguro muchos estarán [...]
I guess it makes sense to package together "These Hands" and "January Twenty Something," the four minute one-two punch that begins WHY? 's Eskimo Snow . The songs themselves are tonally different, which makes the sudden change from fantastical, bizarre narrative to live band performance work. And even if you don't like either half of the video, at least admit the quality of it is very impressive. Or don't. Whatever. In related news, that suited guy can sure take an arrow in the back. And by arrow in the back, I mean 12 arrows in the [...]
It's another mailbag style post, but this is more because of the sheer amount of awesomeness that was sent our way over the last couple of days. Three artists we've covered a lot on the hill all hit us off with some news within 24 hours, so it makes sense to deliver the news to you good readers. First off, our good friend Michael – aka These Hands – is premiering his new LP exclusively on herohill. Home is Everywhere is a long time in the making, or [...]
Just sitting around in the "war room" of the internet media distribution centre here at Slowcoustic and was just doing a status check. I know what you are thinking - "But Sman, this could take years of 3rd party inspections, focus groups, revenue audits...it's not worth it!". Well friends, let's do it the old fashion way...you know...crawling out of bed, half dressed and hit the computer in the spare room. Nice - let's get started. ~~~ The new logo has been up for a week or so...thoughts? Too big, too [...]
The nine bands whose work is represented here span a wide Prairie landscape of music. The Deep Dark Woods mix traditional folk music with rock and roll, alt-country and psychedelia. Psychedelia is also an element of holzkopf's work, mashed up with jungle, hip-hop, and eardrum-bursting feedback. Dumb Angel (Shaun Mason) centres spectral compositions around ethereal vocals and melodic, droning guitar. Pearson play intimate folk-core inspired by Grant Fuhr, Soren Kierkegaard and one-speed bikes; when their lovely lady strikes out on her own, she's called A Gentle Forest. The practically orchestra-sized Carbon Dating Service make a joyful noise with voices, hearts [...]
myspace First things first... how about some new music from These Hands ? Can do. Michael recorded a complete body of work on March 1st/2009 and has sent over the lead track from the record, No Distractions . I can't speak for the rest of the appropriately titled - March 1st - but No Distractions is a dark, almost tribal jam. Dark piano chords, a big kick drum and ominous tones replace the pleasantries we embraced on songs like Zoe Montreal , but the way he adds the [...]
Well, it seems Shuyler Jansen couldn't leave well enough alone. He couldn't just sit down and relax after writing a terrific album (seriously Today's Remains is rock solid and the epic Pegasus was one of my favorite songs last year). Nope, he had to horn in on herohill's racket and try to steal our retirement grease. As our long time readers - our wives - know, we've been compiling the Great Canadian Mixtape ; a province by province ode to the indie acts in Canada. Twenty bands, twenty free MP3s [...]
myspace These Hands - aka Michael Hanson - is as an eclectic a one-man band as you'll find in the Canadian scene. Being from Saskatchewan, you might expect Michael's songs to be vast and desolate; that creaking folk the wobbles around, barely able to maintain it's footing. And while he has been known to craft such songs, his newest track - Zoe Montreal (Antique #1) - is filled to the brim. The song uses textures, layers, sounds, horns, guitar, hand percussions to create an experimental pop track that [...]
This song comes from Saskatchewan's Michael Hanson who records as These Hands . His music has been featured on Sixeyes in the past, so I wanted to share this new song, a song that pops out of the speakers with polish and aplomb. Sometimes when I hear a song it reminds me of previously heard music, sometimes music which was absorbed by my much younger self and in many cases I find it difficult to recall who the song reminds me of. In the case of "Zoe Montreal" I hear several artists and yet only [...]
the release date for deerhunter 's follow-up album to last year's commendable cryptograms has finally been announced to be 28 october on kranky and 4ad . bombastically titled microcastle , the album's tracklisting has been confirmed as well, but interestingly leaves out "these hands", which was leaked along with others in the album some months back. it's a pity, though, as i really enjoyed that ambient, shoegaze track which seemed the logical progression from frontman bradford cox's side project atlas sound . perhaps a loveless, understated beauty like this is [...]
