In 2020, the Australian electronic dance collective Haiku Hands (Beatrice Lewis, Claire Nakazawa and Mie Nakazawa) released their critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album. The group have now shared brand new single 'Shoot The Shot', along with a hypnotic visualiser. They are also excited to drop Haiku Hands as a deluxe edition along with a limited edition classic black vinyl on Spinning Top Records / Mad Decent. The 16 track deluxe edition includes 'Shoot The Shot', as well as previous single 'Conclusions' and alternate versions of 'Onset' and 'Fashion Model Art', joining album favourites such as 'Manbitch,' and 'Not About You,'
Haiku Hands will also be hitting stages across the country for their rescheduled Australian Album Tour, 'We Got Vinyl', which has been pushed back due to current restrictions and a handful of festival dates kicking off later this month. Heading to Gembrook, Sandstone Point, Adelaide, Sydney, Fremantle, Busselton, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.
The group explain the themes around their latest single and why it's so special to them as a collective, "The lyrics in 'Shoot the Shoot' are inspired by a letter by Amelia Earhart, a pilot in the 30's, and innovators who forge new paths. It's an ode to unconventional lives and people who go against the grain because they're brave and strong enough to. 'Shoot the Shot' was one of the last songs we wrote before releasing our debut album and has an epic emotional feel to it. Kind of like the end of a cycle that could also signify the beginning of something new, the song's lyrics end on 'it's the sound of the starting gun.' In some way we'd all pushed through personal barriers and pushed ourselves out of our comfort zones in order to birth and be part of Haiku Hands."
