Recent Frenchkiss signees, Cut Off Your Hands, are proud to present the Happy As Can Be EP, their first offering for the New York-based label, due this October. Available for download below, the eponymous single will also be featured on their much anticipated, Bernard Butler produced debut album, You and I, set for release in early 2009. A carousel of layered melodies and rhyming couplets, soaring over an insistent, cavalry-like drumbeat, Happy follows the successful Expectations, Cut Off Your Hands’ lead single released in late September. Expectations has not only received high rotation on Australia’s premier radio station, JJJ FM, but it was recently featured as the Australian iTunes Single of the Week. The track currently sits as the second largest download in iTunes SOTW history. Here’s hoping the same fate befalls Happy.
Download and share Cut Off Your Hand’s “Happy As Can Be” from Happy As Can Be EP [Frenchkiss Records; October 21st 2008]
In their short time on both record and stage, Cut Off Your Hands have built both their fanbase and media attention on a slew of melodic and downright memorable offerings. From the romantic naivety of songs like “Oh Girl,” 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 its scruff and shake it into spinning, lovesick action. Late next month, the band will grab New York itself for a string of dates at the annual CMJ Music Marathon.
CMJ Dates:
10-21 New York, NY – The Delancy (New Zealand CMJ Showcase)
10-24 New York, NY – Cake Shop
10-25 New York, NY – Public Assembly
