TRACKLISTING: 7” A) Expectations, B) The Witch,
CD 1 Expectations, 2 One Last time,
OVERVIEW: ‘Expectations’ is the first single to be taken from Cut Off Your Hands’ highly anticipated debut album ‘You and I’ produced by Bernard Butler (Manic Street Preachers, Suede, Libertines, Duffy) and released on sixsevenine recordings this summer. Expectations is set to be the ultimate summer dance floor filler - heartfelt, urgent indie pop, full of cleverly chorused melodies, sparkling guitars, harmonic bass lines and a backbone of creative drum rhythms stampeding like a heard of wild horses. Energetic frontman Nick boldly sings “Oh these expectations / are pulling at me / oh I just can’t hold on” making this a tightly woven tapestry set for festival stages worldwide. Cut Off Your Hands have a canny knack of producing short sharp melodic pop songs that get ingrained in ones’ brain, finding them a host of fans including old tour mates Foals, and Les Savy Fav to name but a few.
Cut Off Your Hands have been touring persistently for the past six months; having left their native New Zealand shores in pursuit of bigger stages, they recently joined The Black Kids and The Wombats on their prospective UK tours, and are now currently preparing for their own headline UK tour, following which they will fly to USA for a full tour of the major cities. They will also appear at UK festivals.
In their short time on both record and stage, Cut Off Your Hands have created a slew of melodic and downright memorable music. From the romantic naivety of ‘Oh Girl’ and ‘Happy As Can Be’, to the speeding, hyper-love balladry of the pop-paean ‘Still Fond’, the four-piece have shown they’ve got what it takes to grab the world by it’s collective scruff & shake them into spinning, lovesick action. Not so sweet as perhaps their lyrics might suggest, (lyrics which should be heard with a heavy dose of irony) Cut off Your Hands live show should come with a health and safety warning.
Bloggers recently hyped up the band’s brilliant lo-fi covers of The Sonics (as featured on 7” b-side), Split Ends, and The Buzzcocks which are doing the rounds, some of which have provided extra sparkle in the band’s sizzling live show.
