The Hundred In The Hands

Brooklyn duo The Hundred In The Hands (Jason Friedman & Eleanore Everdell) release their first full-length album and it’s a chill affair. Their blend of electronic sounds, smooth female vocals and assured studio trickery makes for a very soothing experience. It doesn’t raise the pulse all that much but that isn’t the intension. This is music to help you relax and float down stream.


That isn’t to say that the entire experience is horizontally mellow, there are a number of moments of assertiveness like the meaty guitar stabs in Gold Blood, the growling keyboards and hand claps of Dressed In Dresden or the power chords in Lost City. It’s mostly a case of energy divided by taste.


The songs are built mostly on bedrock tracks of elctronica and that gives the album a consistency than may wear thin for some but resonate well with others. Also adding a variety of organic sounds into the mix and with Everdell’s sensuous voice, the cold edge of technology is pleasantly tempered.   


Dancing on the fine line between cool and detached, The Hundred In The Hands show a special level of finesse and a flair for the understated.
