Half-Handed Cloud: Bert Hissock (cello); John Benson (clarinet, bass guitar); John Ringhofer. Personnel: John Ringhofer (vocals, sound effects); Bert Hissock (cello); Brandon Buckner, Jim Tate (strings); John Benson (clarinet, bass guitar); Gabe Saucedo (saxophone, marimba); Sufjan Stevens (drums); Jason Munn (computer). Additional personnel: Sufjan Stevens. Audio Mixer: Daniel C. Smith. Recording information: New Jerusalem Recreation Room, NJ (01/2004-10/2004); The Boat Anchor, Berkeley, CA (01/2004-10/2004). Arranger: John Ringhofer. Experimental/Christian indie rock has far more in common with the British folk movement than it does with traditional American rock & roll. The slightly pagan themes, strange time signatures, communal living structures, and arsenals of found instruments sound awfully progressive, so if the Danielson Famile are Comus, then Half-Handed Cloud are the genre's Incredible String Band. Led by performance artist/multi-instrumentalist John Ringhofer, HHC introduce a melody, destroy it, and then introduce a new one, often in the span of a couple of minutes. Ringhofer's vocal style is very Wayne Coyne (another artist who owes a great deal to the String Band's Robin Williamson), and his trippy ruminations on the band's third release, Thy Is a Word & Feet Need Lamps, fill the 16 tracks with colors both real and imagined. Engineered and mixed by Danielson mastermind Daniel Smith, Half-Handed Cloud's songs are perfect little pop nuggets disguised as atmospheric and horn-drenched mini-symphonies. Like Of Montreal, they're as memorable as you're willing to allow them to be. Opening with the engaging "You Get a Horseshoe" is smart, as it dupes the listener into thinking that the rest of the record is similar -- it is, but far more difficult to ingest. It's like a litmus test meant to weed out the flowers, and by the time listeners reach the Syd Barrett-inspired "Considered It a Loan," they may not realize that the "Madcap Laugh" is on them. ~ James Christopher Monger
