New Norwegian Pop duo Hands release debut single on Tellé Records

HANDS are Hakon and Sofie and hail from Bergen, the same town that gave us Annie and Royksopp. HANDS have just completed their first single WakeUp which will be released through Elsker, an imprint of Tellé Records (Annie & Royksopp) on April 16th. HANDS have now finished recording a portion of their debut album with Pete Hofmann who has worked on releases by Will Young, Richard X, Kylie and Katy B.

Hakon and Sofie are deeply influenced by both by underground pop like Grimes and The XX and neon dance anthems by Robyn and Rihanna. HANDS merge the two sounds together. Sofie says "in Norway, we danced to Royksopp, Casiokids and Stargate who shaped the way we approach pop music. Now we're living in London its the likes Pete Hofmann, Hurts,

Hannah Robinson and Jamie XX who've all contributed in the way Hakon and me write together".
