Newcastle dream pop outfit Seeing Hands have announced the upcoming release of their debut single ‘I Knew You’. Recorded in their hometown, the track is the first in a series of releases planned over the next twelve months and sparks immediate comparisons to the likes of The War On Drugs and Wild Nothing.

Comprising of Kev Curran (vocals, guitar), Nick Hodgson (lead guitar), Jon Varty (bass) and Liam Guillan (drums), the quartet’s jangly guitars and dreamy vocals have already earned them airplay on Radio X and their profile is sure to be enhanced further following this first single release.

Produced by Jack Boyle and John Elliott (Loft Studios, Newcastle), Seeing Hands’ ‘I Knew You’ is released on 5th August and will be available to purchase on iTunes and Spotify.

A Bubblebee is member of the genus Bubblus, in the family Apibae. They have round bodies covered in a soft unknown fiber and bright coloration that seems to change according to the vibrations present in the environment. They harvest Starpollen from a particular flower that can only grow if exposed to infraorange micro waves. For this purpose, it appears that many eons ago a special garden was erected (we can determine this after the analysis of the compression used to enclose the elements present in the structure) for the sole purpose of preserving and sustaining the pollination cycle. The result of a successful pollination by the Bubblebees provides enough yield to create pearls for ≈200 litres of boba tea. Additionally, pearls are often used to play on the marble circuit every 2nd Sunday of the month.

LYRICS
Here we are among the living,
see and count your friends
gathered in a room together.
This is how it ends.
Can’t stand the modern act
whose war is this, what god is that?
Feels like the tide is only
starting to come in.

Do you know what it’s like
to be out and alive?
To say you’re doing alright,
yeah, you’re doing just fine?
When you feel like an ocean
coming out of a creek,
filling rivers to wait for you wherever you are?
When you’re out and around
and all you ever see
are people looking away?
It’s nothing new to me.

I want a life, that’s all I need lately.
I am alive but all alone.

Calling on the light, forgiving,
see to all and then
waiting on the old, expiring force
to go and end.

"Modern Act"

Violens' forthcoming album, "True," finds the Brooklyn three-piece further amplifying their innovative songwriting with a palette of exquisitely crafted sound. The band's music eludes classification, expertly blending percussive guitar work and silky harmonies, seeking the silver lining yet to be discovered between the sounds we know and love. With a wash of 90s sonic pop drawn from artists like Pale Saints, Cocteau Twins and McCarthy, Violens paint soft watercolor notes across their compositions, adding crucial emotional depth via layered vocal harmonies.

The album's first single, "Totally True," demonstrates this with its stone-washed, semi-improvised feel, celebrating bands like The Chameleons and Martin Newell's Cleaners From Venus. The guitars are clean and jangling, meshing perfectly with the driving bassline. The lovely vocals have an almost 60s feel; their debt to such soft-rock touchstones as The Association and Sagittarius is one of the unique elements of Violens' sound that sets them well-apart from many of their contemporaries. The b-side "Something Falling" is a dreamy ballad marked by an effectively spare production, sweeping synths and the band's trademark harmonies. Simply gorgeous.
