Floridian folksters serve up a fine, poetic brew.
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.

On their second full length, Florida's Clock Hands Strangle still manages to keep the sound indefinable. Compared to everyone from the Meat Puppets to Death Cab for Cutie, the songs swirl from influence to influence, many times within the same track. The result is not bad, just not terribly original either, sounding a bit like [...]

This is a pretty unimpressive release week. When I can honestly say that the only things I'm looking forward to are Incubus , Lee "Scratch" Perry and Spinal Tap , that's pretty sad. Well, okay, Spinal Tap is pretty awesome.

Clock Hands Strangle preview their upcoming sophomore full-length, Distaccati , with Live at WMSE EP , recorded on tour at Milwaukee School of Engineerings' radio station, WMSE 91.7 fm. The recording was produced and engineered by MSOE's Billy Cicerelli during an in-studio performance during CHS's winter 2009 tour. audio: desert music http://www.myspace.com/clockha ndsstrangle http://www.chocolatelabrecords .com
Clock Hands Strangle 's debut, Redshift/Blueshift, was hailed by many (including me) as brilliant, but criticized by others as derivative. And if that was the general reaction to their first album, I can only predict an even more intense divide over Distaccati, the band's sophomore release. Even more so than album one, album two combines elements of classic "important" rock (think Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan ) with the major elements of "important" indie (think Built to Spill , Bright Eyes , and Modest Mouse ), by making introspective, often obtuse songs with lyrical [...]
On May 12, Clock Hands Strangle will give wind of their new full-length, Distaccati , by way of a digital EP, Live at WMSE . Taken from a performance on WMSE at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, the EP contains four live versions of songs that appear on the forthcoming album, which comes out June 16. audio: desert music video: Live @ The Hideout Desert Music http://www.myspace.com/clockha ndsstrangle [...]

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 . As a writer, Todd Portnowitz the unique ability to turn a phrase. He can invent a metaphor out the simplest of moments and when strung together this metaphors become melodies and stories and songs. Their 2007 debut, Redshift/Blueshift (Team Grizzly) was heavily thematic and laced with all the honesty and adventure you would expect from indie folk [...]
