Your Hands Unveils His Debut EP “songs to sing in your kitchen”
"It’s easy to feel incredibly small in a big world full of knowledge. Personally, I've found comfort in surrendering to the naivety and beauty of ignorance. To me, it's ok to embrace wonder and ask those "stupid" questions. In a social setting, it’s quite amusing - on psychological level it often tends to get vulnerable."
This is how songwriter and musician, Johannes Brandstrup aka your hands, explains the approach to what has become his debut EP. As the title suggests, the message and background behind the making of ‘songs to sing in your kitchen’ is straight forward and down-to-earth when confusing universal issues and immense truths take over.
The songs set the tone for an artist whose Nordic roots are instantly present in a folk and indie-pop inspired soundscape full of coziness, charm and a whimsical finesse. Whether it’s a pub anecdote and conversation on ‘oh, teacher’, a childhood memory like ‘orbit’ of feeling significant when spending time with your father or when you get emotional by the mysterious life of a candle on the single, ‘steel is heavier than feathers’, your hands is the musical break that everyone needs from time to time.
‘songs to sing in your kitchen’ follows up on previous your hands-singles, ‘floating’ and ‘down here waiting’, making a promising stir receiving praise from multiple international media outlets.
So, hum along and embrace your inner naivety and there’s a reasonable chance that life won’t slip through your hands…
