Video: Hands, ‘Warm Night Home’

Hands’ shimmering synth-pop doesn’t play into anything pat – when we premiered “Warm Night Home” in October, we noted the L.A. quartet’s predisposition toward shifting tones and rhythms, and its layered complexities. Director Jack Price’s video for the song (which, the band announced today, will be on the “Massive Context” EP, out April 10) suggests a certain translucence too, superimposing found footage over band members Geoffrey Halliday, Ryan James Sweeney, Alex Staniloff and Sean Hess. Hooky and immediate it’s not. But “Warm Night Home” exudes the same kind of emotional sheen as Thom Yorke’s solo work, and that’s a good place to start.
