10/14/2011: Music: Dressed in Dresden by The Hundred In the Hands
Hailing from – where else? – Brooklyn, The Hundred in the Hands are – what else? – a boy-girl duo who make sultry, electronic dance-pop. Already making their name on the blogosphere, this eponymous debut album arrives swathed in hype and expectation; though, thanks to fellow Brooklyn-based boy-girl electro-pop duo Sleigh Bells, there’s perhaps less than there may otherwise have been. That said, there is a noticeable difference between the music and approach of the two bands, and if Sleigh Bells are the truculent, hyper, troublesome younger sibling, then The Hundred in the Hands are the calmer, darker, older one. - Mischa Pearlman

These are our times
The End Times
And when the lights
All go out
You be Bombed Berlin
And I’ll play Stalingrad
You be Bombed Berlin
And I’ll play Stalingrad
