Hand on String

Michael Andrews

Twelve tracks of fragile, wood-and-wire folk. Intimate acoustic guitars and felt-dampened pianos create a sanctuary of quiet, suburban melancholy.

February 14, 2006 · [PIAS] Recordings

A quiet, domestic sanctuary that finds profound beauty in the smallest acoustic details.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the acoustic guitar strings squeak between chord changes on Tracings, making the room feel inches away.
The title track's slow-motion build where cello and piano intertwine like two people walking in step.
The sudden, delicate clarity of the glockenspiel notes that cut through the hazy production of Hello Lemon.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
