Taut disco-punk with a flamboyant air...With roots in West Yorkshire and Canada, *New Hands* have a strange sense of displacement.
The band's sound - taut post-punk, flamboyant new pop, pared down disco - owes a debt to several locations, several styles, rarely - if ever - coalescing into one place.
Part of the same Ontario scene which spawned Jessy Lanza, New Hands recently stepped into the studio to work on their debut album.
Due to arrive early next year, the group have handed new cut 'Strange Attractor' to Clash. Brooding, downbeat pop music, their glamorous melancholy is matched to a wilfully experimental arrangement.
Reminiscent of Spandau Ballet remixed by James Murphy, you can tune in below:
