Flagpole Premieres: Hand Sand Hands, ‘Pores’ Video


We’ve been fans of local experimental rhythmsmith Jonathan Miller and his Hand Sand Hands project since Miller emigrated from the Twin Cities to Athens in 2012. Attendees at this summer’s Flagpole Athens Music Awards got a taste of HSH’s upcoming album, Good Luck With That, which now has a release date: Nov. 11, when you can grab the album on cassette via Arrowhawk and digitally via Autumn + Colour.

The album—there’s the cover art above—features contributions from bassist Taylor Chmura and drummer Chase Merritt (both of Little Gold), who lend the music a live, full-band feel, though it loses none of HSH’s sample-based strangeness.

Below, check out a video for “Pores,” the record’s strong lead single, filmed by the increasingly in-demand Dominar, LTD.
