\"Stage<\/p>\n

Last year, The Meets’ It Happens Outside<\/em> put Brandon Locher<\/a>, the ensemble’s creative head, firmly on our radar. The multimedia artist\/producer keeps himself well busy with an array of projects, and in 2013 he also joined forces with longtime friend and drummer\/producer Gerald Mattis, founding Stage Hands<\/a>. The outfit have recently announced the release of their self-titled debut album, due out on February 10th via My Idea of Fun<\/a>.
\nOn their forthcoming album, “Locher constructs his signature sonic and rhythmic collages, weaving elements of jazz, ambience, and IDM into his production”, describes the press release, “alongside Mattis\u2019s sure-handed drumming, split between acoustic and electronic kits.”. It adds that Stage Hands<\/em> “patiently burst and blooms from placid and meditative, to nervous and glitchy, to pulsing and malleable.”<\/p>\n

‘The Populating Of Empty Space’ is the first ace single to be lifted from the album and it stands as a testament to the pair’s genre-defying magic. The single comes with a video, directed by Joshua Rogers. Highly recommended.
