Review
• The Hundred in the Hands return with their third album Love in the Black Stack; a swoony late~night soundtrack to the catastrophic present.
• Eleanore Everdell & Jason Friedman began working on these intimate new songs and ambient tracks using cassettes recorded in the late ‘90’s, demos, voice~memos, field recordings and other half~ forgotten ephemera collected over the years. They then went back into the studio with producers Vito Roccoforte and Gabriel Andruzzi (The Rapture, Vito and Druzzi) — who both add their indelible stylistic synth and percussion work — and together helped re~work the material for an album conceived as the score to a larger art installation/performance piece.
• The final 11 songs yo~yo from the insular romance of “I Follow”, “Pale Moon Out” and “Felt a Love” to the jagged pulse of “Proof of Love”, “Red Eyes Rising” and cascading drive of “Wade Up”; alternately grounded in the deep searching harmonies of Eleanore’s layered vocals and the purposeful silences and slipped rhythms of the off~kilter production.
• With lyrical through~lines moving from satellites and constellations “high above the earth,” through “telephones ringing in empty rooms” and unwinding under rising tides — and with themes loosely touching on gentrification, environmental collapse, and occult technological faiths — Love in the Black Stack is an attempt to find the gaps still ungoverned by these global forces and to create sense and connection from incomprehension and dislocation.
