supernowhere - The Hand

Origin stories aren’t exclusively reserved for Marvel villains. They’ll sometimes occur in music - where one single moment sets the stage for a band’s future success. When Seattle’s supernowhere is talked about ten years from now, I think there’s a chance people will trace their origin story back to a single guitar riff. The riff I’m referring to, featured in the brilliant tune “The Hand” off their brand-new LP Skinless Takes a Flight, is a sound to behold. It’s simplistic yet nuanced, minimalistic yet sophisticated, and completely captivating. While stylistically they don’t align much with Radiohead, there’s also something about “The Hand” that’s going to draw in diehard fans of In Rainbows, such as ourselves. But at the end of the day, they’ve created a unique piece of art that we’re anticipating might set the stage for the next phase of this indie rock outfit’s evolution. We’ll have to wait to find out, but until then we will be rocking to a steady dose of this fantastic track from supernowhere.
