The Hand to Man Band - The Down Moveables

by Post-Consumer

The Hand to Man Band - The Down Moveables
Video by Marcos Sanchez / Recorded by Nicholas Taplin (Post-Consumer)


"The band’s moniker was inspired by a cryptic fortune cookie Watt picked up in Austin, and that’s really no surprise – this album is filled with mysterious clues that lead to solutions indirectly. Veering between the tightly woven and the completely unhinged, trading deep gulfs of ponderous melancholy with gentle, fractured pop fairytales, The Hand To Man Band keeps the listener guessing without ever completely abandoning their own special brand of earthy hall-of-mirrors music." -- Post Consumer


The Hand To Man Band - First Shallows

The Hand To Man Band is comprises of Mike Watt (best known for co-founder of Minutemen, dos, and fIREHOSE), John Dieterich (Deerhoof, Natural Dreamers), Tim Barnes (Silver Jews, Jim O’Rourke, Text of Light), Thollem McDonas (Tsigoti). 'First Shallow' is taken from their first full-length "You Are Always on Our Minds," available now via Austin's Post-Consumer.

"On that day in August, when the earth shifted into the shape of Matthew E. White, there was so much to listen to, so much to put your heart into, already. The dusts of the Delta had swirled into Rock and Roll. Alan Lomax's recordings sat in a big building in Washington, DC. Lee Perry had built The Black Ark in his backyard in Kingston. Somebody else lived in Big Pink. Mac Rebennack was Dr. John. King Tubby was dubbing. Terry Riley was overdubbing. Sly Stone had hit #1. Randy Newman's Sail Away was a decade old. Caetano Veloso had just turned 40. Muddy Waters was just about gone. Jimmy Cliff had had sung "Many Rivers to Cross." So had Harry Nilsson. White shared this common inheritance. He stitched his own flag out of it." --Hometapes
