Based on the Hundred in the Hands' debut EP for Warp, This Desert, the band could have gone in two different directions for its first full-length. The duo could have gone deeper into the experimental leanings shown on some songs, or the sleek disco-pop displayed on others.

Based on the Hundred in the Hands' debut EP for Warp, This Desert, the band could have gone in two different directions for its first full-length. The duo could have gone deeper into the experimental leanings shown on some songs, or the sleek disco-pop displayed on others. For their self-titled debut, they chose the latter; Jason Friedman and Eleanore Everdell worked with pop mega-producer Richard X, among others, which explains the album's sleeker, slicker feel, while louder guitars, the occasional live drums, and more aggressive synths add a sharper edge. This serves the Hundred in the Hands' singles well, adding muscle to the Bloc Party-like riff of "Dressed in Dresden" and extra bite to "Young Aren't Young"'s dreamy disco-pop. Everdell's voice is still pristinely beautiful -- especially on "Lovesick (Once Again)"'s massed harmonies and "This Day Is Made"'s ghostly choruses. The Hundred in the Hands still sound most convincing on songs about emptiness: "Pigeons" and "Dead Endings" let Everdell be an ice princess crooning about vacant spaces, late nights, and early mornings over frosty synths and chugging guitars. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
