The Hundred in the Hands eponymous full-length debut represents the brainchild of Brooklyn-based duo Eleanore Everdell and Jason Friedman’s fulsome grounding in semi-sparse, retro 80’s dance pop. The very same pop that’s neurologically calibrated for late “thirtysomethings” clasping on to wistful remembrances of wayfarer sunglasses, ungodly amounts of hair, and maybe even that pair of parachute pants necessitated $8,000 of therapy starting in 1990 to treat (your) subsequent dissociative identity disorder. On the other hand, this album also happens to be perfect for those who possess the oft-proclaimed, but rarely demonstrated ability, to let loose 80’s style on the dance floor with absolutely no apologies.
