The Hundred in the Hands

The Hundred in the Hands is an electropop duo, formed in 2008 in Brooklyn, NY. The duo consists of Eleanore Everdell (vocals/synths) and Jason Friedman (guitars/programming). These two were once members of the indie band the Boggs, who found themselves in the studio recording collaborative tracks without the band. The band name refers to the phrase the Lakota Nation gave to the Fetterman Battle/Massacre of 1866 in Wyoming, in which Crazy Horse led his warriors to a victory that resulted in the death of 100 white soldiers. The Hundred in the Hands fuses synth pop with post-punk and dream pop elements, making for a sound that’s equally danceable and dreamy. The pair played some gigs in London that caught the attention of Warp Records, who signed them and released their debut single "Undressed in Dresden" in April 2010. An EP, This Desert, followed in May, and their full-length self-titled debut album was released in September 2010. This is "Commotion" off their full length album.
