On the concept behind the tour, Hands Like Houses vocalist Trenton Woodley says: “The ‘Reflect’ Tour is a chance to slow down, take a breath and reflect on the challenges this year has presented, using that experience to inform a new take on the music it’s produced, the opportunities it’s given and the things that we’ve missed the most. These COVID-safe shows are our first real opportunity to return to live music in a way that doesn’t reject the ‘new normal’ but embraces it wholly, with a reimagined set and a uniquely intimate HLH experience.”
Hands Like Houses kept busy in the lead up to their EP release, with performances for triple j’s Like A Version segment (check out the huge cover of Fuel’s ‘Shimmer’ here), an exclusive set for Triple M’s Garage Sessions, sports syncs and knockout headline livestreams completed.
Alongside clocking radio support from the likes of triple j, triple M, idobi, Kerrang! and BBC R1 for its singles, the EP landed global media praise for both its high rock energy and vocal and emotional intensity.
Supported by 2020 breakouts Agnes Manners, Hands Like Houses will bring a reimagined taste of their acclaimed catalogue to Australia in January 2021.
