single: cut off your hands

‘Cut Off Your Hands’, not to be confused with the New Zealand act, is the latest single from dreamy folk four piece Menagerie. The track itself is an elegant combination of subtle guitars and brooding harmonies, in particular the female vocals of Gina Somfleth that send shivers down the spine.

With hints of Animal Collective, Caribou and Grizzly Bear heard throughout, ‘Cut Off You Hands’ is an ambient wonder alluding to a band with a passion for emotion evoking sonics sure to satisfy even the most tight jeaned of hipster.
