A two part combination of Jason Friedman and Eleanore Everdell make up The Hundred In The Hands. After a couple of EP's, their debut self titled album came out on the 20th of September this year. It is something vaguely recognisable, it could be the vocals, reminiscent of a younger Karen-O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, maybe the mix of musical influences behind the mainly electronic music, maybe it just doesn't stand out from alot of the music around at the moment. Thankfully, I don't think the latter is the case. Although THITH don't really revolutionise music they offer a decent attempt at originality and a modern, tuneful and slightly catchy take on electro-pop, and afterall, a band signed to Warp records should probably achieve this right?
A solid album really, with stand out songs such as Lovesick (Once Again) and Pigeons they really make a great effort and it's refreshing to hear something that is probably quite pop, but at the same time, decent.
