A 5-piece out of Melbourne, Florida, Clock Hands Strangle are prepping a follow-up to their debut full-length, Redshift/Blueshift (Team Grizzly). Schedueld for release in May, Distaccati is a progression of CHS’s Bob Dylan/Joni Mitchell-inspired indie folk rock. Where RS/BS dealt with themes of movement, celestial beings and nature, Distaccati tackles subjects of classic literature, self-awareness and questioning the great creator, while offering up more accessible rock than previous releases.

Clock Hands are teaming with Chocolate Lab Records, an indie label that launched in 2008 with releases from Andy Yorke and Paper Round Kid, both UK artists. This marks the first US-based release for the label.

The band is heading out on tour in late January covering the East Coast, Midwest, Canada and SXSW. They will have limited edition tour copies of the album on sale at the shows.
