Having spent hours laboring in the studio for their first two releases, Brooklyn’s Emanuel and the Fear took a more organic approach for the new self-released EP “Hands“, by writing and rehearsing the tracks in the two months they toured Europe in 2010. They then recorded and mixed the whole record in 4 days, mostly live in the studio with Brendan Tobin (Made Out Of Babies/Red Sparrows). “Hands” will be released on June 10th, 2011. The band, which features members who have worked with bands as diverse as The National, From Autumn to Ashes, Sufjan Stevens, Zao, Akron/Family, Ryan Star, and The Canadian Brass, will be celebrating the release of the EP on July 7, 2011 at the Mercury Lounge. – (as posted in The Deli’s Open Blog – post your band’s entries, videos, and Mp3s here).
