The Idle Hands are proud to announce the release of their debut full-length album The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show, due out September 8th on Pretty Kids Collective records.
The Idle Hands is from Minneapolis band made up of Irish ex-pats and Midwest natives have written an impressive record filled with songs about lust and longing, sordid affairs, brutal regrets, and the after parties that fuel them. Without even so much as trying their engaging first single “Loaded” managed to find itself on local radio, touted as “Song Of The Day” and entered into heavy rotation on the Twin Cities indie/alt leaning NPR station The Current.
The forthcoming release features tracks from the Loaded EP. Some of The Idle Hands song is recorded in L.A. with producer Mark Needham (The Killers, Bloc Party) and new tracks mixed and produced by Tony Lash (the Dandy Warhols, Elliott Smith) and engineered by the likes of Erik Applewick (Tapes ‘n Tapes) and Chad Weiss (Mason Jennings). The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show is akin to a familiar friend that keeps you on your toes, spanning glam, neo New Wave, and disco with nods to everyone from Berlin era Bowie to pre Dig! Dandy’s.
So who are The Idle Hands and how did they come to be? As the story goes, Front-man Ciaran and his brother Criostoir (bass) left the Emerald Isle and found themselves in a land of snow, holed up in a studio making music with their friends. The boy/girl/boy/girl/boy line-up is rounded out by Eileen (keys), her traveling companion Emma (guitar), and rhythm setter Nick on the drums. The release date will be on the 8th of September by the Pretty Kids Collective records. A collection of songs ranging from lust and longing, brutal regrets, dirty affairs, and of what crazed adults do during the after parties.
Featured song from the tracks, which is recorded in L.A. and produced by Mark Needham, are from the Loaded EP. New tracks mixed and produced by Tony Lash are also included, engineered by the likes of Erik Apllewick and Chad Weiss. The “The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show” is a bit for mature listeners only, the album would surely keep dancers on their toes for its upbeat, neo-New Wave Disco style. This album would probably be enjoyed by classic people and young generations alike.
