Alex's Hand is an avant-garde alternative band centered around the songwriting of multi-instrumentalist Kellen
Mills and drummer Nic Barnes. Currently based out of Berlin, Germany though inspired by their wandering
experiences around the globe, the ever-evolving project will release their latest full length this year: Hungarian
Spa.
“Our new music on Hungarian Spa was written as a concept album with different characters and people we've
met in Europe. Berlin is full of people who came there as we did, to make music or art. It creates a sort of
artistic bubble full of talented and passionate people that are willing to take artistic risks.”
Hungarian Spa speaks for itself as a continuation of the artistic risks Mills and Barnes welcome through this
expanding musical platform. The Seattle-born, genre-expanding, and deeply collaborative musicians will share
their first sneak peek of the album this summer with the swirling and disorienting “Sittin’ on the couch”, which
stands as the artists’ commentary on society’s obsession with feedback from social media.
“At the heart of our music, there is always a punk ethos and an anti-attitude applied to tight composition and
improvisation, which we quite enjoy.”
