Lefthand : Piero Manzoni
Time for the quip: if [B]Stuart Mogwai[/B] delivered your mail, would he be a post-rock postman?
Left Hand are a mysterious combo with an affection for - you've got it - left-handed awkwardness. Yet more tick-tocking cool-rocking mathematical precision, 'Piero Manzoni' is nevertheless an extravagant fondle of the big experimental bottom, being jittery, fluent and very, very long. A record with both bite and bark, ye gods.
