Pastiche by Talking With Hands
"Pastiche is an homage to some of my early influences (Smashing Pumpkins & Soundgarden) as much as it is a breath of life into ideas from my past. As the title suggests, everything is a remix of old ideas - we should count ourselves 'lucky' to stand on the shoulders of everyone who came before." -Matthew Smith
As the great documentarian Kirby Ferguson said, "Everything is a Remix." The latest release from LA's Hyde Park TALKING WITH HANDS is a direct nod to the bedrock of influences that set them on their youthful musical journey. Listeners may feel the twinge of nostalgia for Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins and maybe even a little Duncan Sheik as they listen to Pastiche. Influences are all around us and Talking With Hands is paying homage.
