(English Bellow)

Fondé en 2010, sur les cendres de Los Santos, groupe ultra-local bien reconnu par les vétérans de la scène perpignanaise, The Hands est un quartet qui plonge ses racines autant dans la scène garage moderne du milieu des années 2000 (comme Jack Of Heart, Movie Star Junkies ou The Intelligence) comme dans des groupes plus classiques comme le Gun Club, Joy Division ou Pink Floyd de Syd Barrett.

Après deux albums autoproduits, "On The Words" (2014) et "We Are Other Men" (2016) et quelques tournées européennes, leur troisième album, "Reflections", arrive enfin en 2022 après six ans d'absence.

Enregistré par leur ami Renaud Picard (Crank, Hair & The Iotas), mixé par Briane Blanc (la chanteuse du groupe) et masterisé par Luis Mazzoni au Vintage Sound Studio, ce troisième album est peut-être leur plus attendu et sûrement leur meilleur à ce jour.

Alternant des morceaux entêtants comme « Thanks » ou « In The Middle » et des morceaux plus doux comme « We Are So Lame » et « Seven Years« , le groupe dévoile sa véritable identité tout au long des dix titres de cet album. Comme toujours autoproduit pour leur propre label Broken Arm Records, "Reflections" sortira en collaboration avec Staubgold et Cougouyou Music.

Founded in 2010, on the ashes of Los Santos, an ultra-local band well recognized by the veterans of the Perpignan scene, The Hands is a quartet with its roots as much in the modern garage scene of the mid-2000s (like Jack Of Heart, Movie Star Junkies, or The Intelligence) as in more classic groups such as the Gun Club, Joy Division or Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. After two self-produced albums, On The Words (2014) and We Are Other Men (2016) and a few European tours, their third album, Reflections, finally arrives in 2022 after six years of absence. Recorded by their friend Renaud Picard (Crank, Hair & The Iotas), mixed by Briane Blanc (the band's singer) and mastered by Luis Mazzoni at Vintage Sound Studio, this third album is perhaps their most anticipated and surely their best so far. Alternating between heady tracks like "Thanks" or "In The Middle" and softer songs like "We Are So Lame" and "Seven Years", the group reveals their real identity throughout the ten songs of this album. As always self-produced for their own label Broken Arm Records, Reflections will be released in collaboration with Staubgold and Cougouyou Music.


Lyrics:

(Also on the Lp Back Cover)



1. Thanks : Thanks for being, here, today! / Even, if we know, it’s hard to say - We love you, we want you, we love you, we want you - Thanks, for being, still here, even, if you know, it’s hard to say, that - we love you, we want you, we love you, we want you! //


2. Lost in Another World : When you’re falling asleep, and then, you see, strange but nice, pictures around you, it’s like, if you could feel, something, you can’t describe / It’s like, if you were lost in another world, with another point of you, with another level of understanding / Once, you’re awaken, it’s like if something has changed, and what, has changed, if it’s not you, yes what, has changed? I beg you! / It’s like, if you were lost in another world, with another point of you, with another level of understanding! //


3. In The Middle : Everyday, I don’t know what to say, to the ones living, into me, and even if you don’t want them, they will never leave me, oh no! no, no! / I know you are here, there, and everywhere, I know you’re here there and everywhere / Am I good or am I bad? Depends of the day, depends of the mood, sometimes, I love to see my face, and sometimes, I just, hate myself! // No voices, nothing, but everybody could live in me, and I’m here in the middle of that, I’m here in the middle of that! / I know you are here there and everywhere, I know you’re here there and everywhere! //


4. Can’t Lose our Time : You know that, sometimes, I feel fine, even, if, I’m losing, my mind, I’m losing my brain too, thinking to little things, in vain / We’re doing it, we are all, losing, our, time! / You know my babe, that, sometimes, we’re not the one, we are, thinking, we are, one day, like this, another like that, beginning, skinny, and ending flat! / we’re doing it, we are all, losing, our time! / Losing our time / Losing our time but can’t lose our time ! / losing our time, but can’t lose our time / losing our time, but can’t lose our time ! //


5. It’s in Your Head : In some moments you feel down, as if everything was brown, you want to put your feet into happiness, but now it’s gone and it’s forever… / It’s in you head, I mean that, just go ahead, Don’t be a twat ! / In other moments you’re so up, that you won’t give up anything, you can do almost anything, but maybe that you need some help… / It’s in your head, I mean that, just go ahead, don’t be a twat, it’s in your head, just go ahead, don’t be a twat, think about it ! / it’s in your head! //


6. Dust in The Universe : At night, the light years appear in front of me, as if you could see them a thousand years ago, the moon was shinning, the stars were moving, in the same way, but those times, it seems, that we forgot that / We are just, like dust in the Universe, like ants moving, and dying, that’s life! / Those times, it seems that we all have the same goal, to live happy but we’re not reaching it, all the time! And even more what have you done for the other ones, yes, what have you done, not only for you! ‘Cause we’re just, like dust in the Universe, like ants moving, and dying, that’s life! //


7. We Are So LAME : I remember, the first time when we met, and now, we are all friends, and you know that we miss you, we’re feeling mad, we’re feeling sad! / Yes you know this song is for you! Yes, you know this song is for you! And you know that we are lame too, and we will come back, come back to see you, and only you, in your country, in your city, yes my babies, we will come back, in Torino! //


8. Sweet Star: Well I’m walking on the road of a sweet life, and I know so much that there’s a lot of traps, I’m thinking of you, I’m thinking of you, I’m thinking of you, and I know that you too / and I know so much that there’s a star above me, and I know so much, that it , won’t leave me, but I have to be, a very good man, sometimes the pain, drives me insane, being insane, and then starless, and from starless, being useless, no I don’t wanna be forgotten, no I don’t wanna be forgotten, by, everyone… / No I don’t wanna be forgotten, by everyone… //


9. Seven Years : Well I’m looking, to the past years, and that’s true, there’s just visions of a sad man, yes, that’s true, and maybe he was a weight for you, / but now it’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, the only one, helps me, now he’s gone, gone, gone, gone… / ‘Cause I’m like a cat, and that my new life, begins well, becoming the the one deserved for years, becoming the one deserved for the others… / but now he’s gone, gone, gone, gone… / Seven years, like a fucking mirror just behind me, just where it’s got to be, just in trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, and, thanks to the others for helping me, to clean it well, I will try to do the same that you did for me! Yeah! //


10. It’s Quiet Now : Tighten in your arms, looking to your eyes, nobody can understand, I’m the man I wanna be, since I am in love, since I found my glove, no I can’t believe it, that I’m in the good train! / And I love her, I’m liking me, for a while now, and I’m feeling free / Got people I can’t stand, anymore oh no! Afraid to give the names, they never were good to me, and I’m old enough, to to make some choices, for the moment you know, I can’t hear voices! / And I feel good, so much better now, touching wood, wishing you the best, as I should… / Friends of mine, in my heart, the music, goes too fast, the fashion, don’t understand it, so made it, wrote a song about it, / I won’t quit, It’s quiet now, It’s quiet now, It’s quiet now, It’s quiet now….
