The Hundred In The Hands gave themselves quite a challenge in following up brooding debut EP, This Desert. With their minimalist electronic rock like a hybrid between Bats For Lashes and The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, this initial effort gained the pair critical acclaim and a dedicated following. Expectations then for the self titled LP are daunting, to say the least. However, the Brooklyn duo are far from scared off by the challenge and the result is possibly one of the finest records you’ll hear this year.

The Hundred In The Hands took some time out to talk to us about their self titled debut album and how they go about creating such a distinctive sound.
More Than The Music: Your debut album is released next month. How are you feeling about that?
The Hundred In The Hands: Really excited! We can’t wait for people to hear it. We’ve been playing on tour now for a few months and every time a new song comes out–like with the first single ‘Pigeons’–it really makes playing the shows more fun. We just saw the printed vinyl artwork for the first time!
