Broken Hands have announced new album SPLIT IN TWO. The album marks the UK band’s Atlantic Records debut – frontman Dale Norton remarked, “We grew up listening to the history that this label has created, to now be part of that is pretty crazy.”
SPLIT IN TWO arrives August 9th and is available for preorder now.
SPLIT IN TWO is heralded by new single “Wrong Track,” which Norton characterized, stating, “’Wrong Track’ is about realising you have no choice of your destination in life, but we all have the choice to enjoy the ride. Fate is inevitable but how you get there’s on you…” “Wrong Track” is available now at all DSPs.
Produced by Julian Emery (Nothing But Thieves, Lower Than Atlantis) and mixed by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Pixies, Ghost), “Wrong Track” follows last October’s release of two new tracks, “Friends House” and “Split In Two,” both available for streaming and download HERE. The band also shared the eerie new video for “Friends House” earlier this month.
Broken Hands – who have previously shared stages with such legendary artists as Blur, Black Sabbath, and The Rolling Stones – will celebrate SPLIT IN TWO with a major North American tour. The dates – which see the Canterbury-based band joining Shinedown as special guests on their upcoming “Attention Attention World Tour” – begin June 21st at The Woodlands, TX’s Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and continue through July. Broken Hands have also announced a special, free-of-charge performance at Pianos in New York City, slated for June 27th. For updates and ticket information, please visit www.brokenhandsband.com.
Hailed by NME for their “bold mini-anthems with subtle experimental undercurrents,” Broken Hands have earned extraordinary acclaim since first emerging in 2015. TURBULENCE, that year’s full-length debut, saw the band fusing fuzzed out blues, psychedelia, and garage into their own brand of what CLASH called “a visceral, almost space rock sound,” declaring the LP to be “a debut of quite rare and vivid originality, with Broken Hands capturing their live energy in a precise yet infectious manner.”
