Hands In The Dark Records

Gonzaï

Hands In The Dark vu par l’excellent magazine Gonzaï:
Croire aux disques qu’on sort, c’est pourtant bien là l’essentiel et ceux de Hands In The Dark contrastent assez fortement avec la merde en boite qu’on reçoit quotidiennement au bureau sans pourtant rien avoir fait pour mériter ça. Du psyché californien des Lumerians à la pop embuée – pour ne pas dire givrée – des suédois de Death and Vanilla, de la dance pour crackheads de Cankun aux sonorités métallo-flippantes de Robedoor, une esthétique qui fait mouche, qui touche.

L’intégralité de l’article est à lire ici.

Out today!

Primal Sphere, by LA psyche wizards ROBEDOOR, and Cut up, by local free dreampop composer MAYERLING are officially out today!

We’ve only got a limited number of copies left for these two gems, so don’t wait for too long i you want to grab your copy from us.

As usual, you can stream both albums here. Hope you’ll enjoy them!

New releases

We’re stoked to announce that we’re starting today the pre-orders for the two next releases! Find the information about both albums below and make sure you secure your copies.

[HITD 017]
ROBEDOOR - Primal Sphere (Vinyl LP)
2012 happened and nothing happened, but this year LA-based duo Robedoor are back with Primal Sphere - a new addition to their rich, large discography which sounds very much like an intentional regression from the future, ripping up rock roots in order to regain a grip on the ragged sound of drone. Robedoor continue their unstoppable upwards progress with yet another superb, pulsating album, broadening the realm of modern psychedelia music.

More info & pre-order



[HITD 018]
MAYERLING - Cut Up (CD Album)
Mayerling is a very special release for Hands in the Dark as it’s the first time we’re championing a close friend from our French hometown, Besançon. This project had been dozing in the shade of its creator Sylvain Bombled for several years, seeing the light of day when he decided to allow himself an exploration of new sonic territories. Mayerling evolves in a dreamy, reverberated, minimalistic universe. Cut Up is their brilliant, thundering debut album - make sure you check it out!

More info & pre-order

The official release date for these two records is set for 14th May 2013.
