You may have them pegged as the high-end of lo-fi, but with their sophomore album Distraction, Bear Hands has shrugged off the notion of second album jitters to create an expansive sound that grew over three long years and thousands of miles on the road.
Self-produced and mixed by James Brown (NIN, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters), Distraction is a violently self-assured record which sees the quartet of Dylan Rau, TJ Orscher, Val Loper and Ted Feldman distilling their anxieties and pleasures alike into perfectly twisted pop nuggets.
