Synesthesia [CD]

Hands makes music like a rip tide, swirling in overlapping loops and riffs, slowly enveloping you. The group's members -- Geoff Halliday, Ryan Sweeney, Sean Hess and Alex Staniloff -- craft their hypnotic sound from a single dropping note that builds into a reverberating roar that crashes over you like a wave. It's a mesmerizing trick that they pull off on their debut LP, Synesthesia.
