Bear Hands return with their sophomore album, Distraction. To be released via Cantora Records, the 11-track effort was produced by the band’s guitarist Ted Feldman, mixed by James Brown (Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails), and sees them expanding on the madcap post-punk/indie rock hybrid of their 2010 debut, Burning Bush Supper Club. Following their previous single “Giants” comes yet another wired and walloping number called “Agora”. Fueled by a delightfully erratic strain of energy, the track’s like Jekyll and Hyde on drugs — one second subdued with eerily calm whispers, the next deliriously brash and unabashed. Listen in below via its wild new music video, which appropriately features a bearded dragon and an agoraphobic frontman.
