San Diego, CA’s Idlehands has released their dreamy new single “Glass Eyed Boys” (listen below). The single will be available on digital accounts such as Spotify and iTunes, starting on Friday, March 18.
“‘Glass Eyed Boys’ is the start of a new and positive future for us,” shares the band. “It’s our best song yet and it truly represents the direction that our music is heading.”
Idlehands will also kick off a US tour with ’68 later this week. The band has previously toured and shared stages with the diverse likes of Taking BackSunday, Being As An Ocean, A Lot Like Birds, This Wild Life, Geographer, Empires and more. All upcoming and announced tour dates can be found below.
Idlehands is touring in support of their latest full-length Dena Mora, which was recorded in Portland, OR with producer Kris Crummett (A Lot Like Birds, Closure In Moscow), and is the follow-up to the band’s 2013 EP,Common Soul. The dynamic album effortlessly carves out musical peaks and valleys, while lyrically reflecting on the natural highs and lows of life, including hope, heartbreak and the ongoing efforts to persevere through life’s daily challenges. Through this, Idlehands impressively showcases their ability to create a balanced blend of dark vs. bright, delicate vs. aggressive, and structural vs. atmospheric elements, offering a beautifully sophisticated scope of sounds and storytelling.
Dena Mora is available at select indie stores such as Newbury Comics, Amoeba, Dimple, and Rasputin’s Records, idlehands.merchnow.com, and digital retailers such as iTunes and AmazonMP3.
