US electronic pop duo The Hundred In The Hands will release their debut album through Warp Records in Autumn.

The self-titled effort features 11 original tracks from Eleanore Everdell (vocals, keyboards) and Jason Friedman (guitar, bass, programming), including previously released single ‘Dressed In Dresden’.

When we spoke to the band back in April, they had the following to say about the album:

“Warp have sworn us to secrecy about the details but we recorded so much last year and decided we weren’t going to release any of it until we really had the record we wanted. It’s funny because for so long we’ve had the one song out in the world and now we have lots of tracks ready to go.”

“There’s definitely a few things that are more in the Jacques mode [DFA/Runaway’s Jacques Renault has worked extensively with THITH], but also things that branch out a little further into other territories. We listen to a lot of 60’s mod and garage, post-punk classics like Young Marble Giants, Wire, The Cure, New Order; classic disco; vintage hip-hop; and loads of Studio 1/Trojan era ska and dub, and I think a lot of that merges in what we write. There’s a whole batch of tracks that we think of as having a more summer on the stoop vibe. They’re more dubbed out, gauzy and ethereal. And then there’s a whole other batch that are maybe more pulled together, sharper; night-music, avant-pop.”
