Back in November, L.A. quartet Hands teased us with the single “Brave Motion,” and now the Philadelphia ex-pats have sent along another song off their forthcoming EP. The music made by Geoffrey Halliday, Ryan Sweeney, Sean Hess and Alex Staniloff is two-sided tropical pop – face up, you get frisky beats and skittering guitar lines; underneath there’s something a bit more foreboding and, like their virtually un-Googleable name, elusive. No word yet on when the EP will be finished, but the foursome’s slowly building fanbase is sure get all tribal over it.
