yk 021: Talking With Hands
posted December 27, 2013 #
It's fitting that the debut release from Talking With Hands came in tandem with my relocation to Brooklyn. Primary songwriter Matthew Smith and his wife Heamin reside there as well but Smith is a transplant from the Nashville area. The album was even recorded and mixed at Battletapes - a fitting parallel to my own life if you wanna get introspective on it!
The album, The World and Ourselves, is such a perfect dose of pop. If you consider yourself a fan of Jellyfish, Jason Falkner, Brendan Benson or any other artist that manages to craft catchy upbeat songs with just the right slice of melancholy, this is for you. Available on limited edition vinyl or digital - quality gems for your ears either way.
