about

'Hands' is the second single off the debut EP by Andrea Parascandolo to be released in 2020. A former member of the Pontine collective Bayou Lovers, Andrea is a movie soundtrack composer as well as a live guitarist and keyboardist for Sonic Jesus [Fuzz Club]

Quaint Ash weaves here a wistful piece, where slow arpeggios and a subdued crescendo lull us straight into the autumnal season.
Hands: the non-verbal gestures are the symbol of past memories trapped in movements which once were fast, now revived only in our own mind.
They keep going backwards in loops as the tape of souvenirs rewinds, just like in a slow motion short movie, leaving us a nostalgic aftertaste.
Stuck in a parallel world, their absence tints everything of an opaque, crepuscular light, like Fall does with the city.

Andrea leads us to discover a delicate and original sound world, showing his ability to wander from the most psychedelic hypna-pop tune to a soft, almost jazzy, dream pop lullaby.

lyrics

Always too hard… “no one will understand me”
I almost gave up, changing my way to be.
But now I’m here, where you’ve been
Doing what I always wanted.

Don’t think about it, I don’t expect you to,
But I’m still waiting for that piano in your room
The one that you played for me

Your hands were shaking and I saw that.
