New Single: Cut Off Your Hands

Cut Off Your Hands - Fooling No One from They on Vimeo.


Cut Off Your Hands have been a favorite of mine since their buzz-ridden debut record in 2009.  You And I is filled with luscious pop-filled ditties infused with wall-of-sound texture and makes me smile in a way that can only be described as downright giddy.  I seriously love this band so much I want to marry them.  So, it is with great excitement that I can report that their new record Hollow Out will be released on August 16th on Frenchkiss Records. "Fooling No One" is the first single from the record and if it's any indication of what's to come, the honeymoon is ON.  It's still got the same pop sensibility, but a smidge darker.  I'd say it sounds a bit Echo and the Bunnymen with a little Ocean Blue thrown in.  You also can download another song "Hollowed Out" from Hollow Out over at Spin.  And, it must be Christmas in July because the band is giving away a free EP (below) which includes "Happy As Can Be" - one of my most fave songs from their first record.
