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

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.
