Manchester/London/Brussels-based post punk/no wave three-piece Handle have dropped their new single "Rubber Necks".
The song is taken from their forthcoming debut album 'In Threes', set to be released on 6th March through Upset The Rhythm and Maternal Voice. Pre-order your copy here.
Incorporating a diverse range of influences, from samba to no wave, Handle make a uniquely minimal sound, buoyed by poetic, urgent vocals. Each instrument brings its own voice, yet somehow the result is a brilliantly unified and understated sonic experience that demands your attention. A group that mesh politics and the avant-garde in with tribal percussion, and urgent, agitated vocals, their songs – all of which clock in around the two minute mark – owe as much to performance poetry as they do to post-punk.
Take a listen below.
