Glad Hand offer the whispered brilliance of "Shape Your Fever Close"
"The song was written as a direct response to a romantic situation... kind of a lament, a go at writing a more traditional love-song-pop-song," says Glad Hand's Declan about the sublime "Shape Your Fever Close".
Released on Handsome Dad records (The Big Moon, Spring King), it's a bold and affecting song from the Leeds four-piece who peddle a sound that recalls some of the sonic brilliance Wild Beasts and Adult Jazz have tapped into but very much in their own special way.
"I'm mostly writing about the same ideas I am throughout the rest of the imminent record," Declan adds, "[such as] bulimia, dysmorphic episodes, deception, happiness and the body – and more specifically my body(s).
"In the chorus I'm singing about both an unreciprocated love and also a never-ending illness, and throughout the song about the sort of day-by-day ‘fixing’ I have to do, to iron over the cracks, to be my public-self that ‘works’."
