To my knowledge, there aren't very many bands that both a) feature a MIDI miramba & b) rip so hard it's difficult not to headbang. Such is the case for Brooklyn's own Cloud Becomes Your Hand.

The band's rubbery jams are impossible to classify. After repeated listenings I still can't figure out if these tunes are avant-garde songs with rock arrangements or rock songs with avante-garde arrangements. Not that any of that really matters when a band is this fun to listen to. There's an extremely satisfying cartoon energy you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. Not to mention they have some of the best sounding synths in town.

If you missed them at their past outing at Shea you can catch them on Saturday (6/28) with legendary noise artists ONO and more. Their new record "Rocks Or Cakes" is out now on Northern Spy & Feeding Tube Records.
