“4 stars – songs which lace mainstream pop with a lick of subversive darkness” – Uncut
“4.5 stars – crammed with the…sort of whooshing new wave keyboards, clanging funk-punk guitars and spidery drum loops that pricked up so many ears in the first place” – The Sun
“4 stars – Friedman and Everdell have struck gold” – Q
“‘Commotion’ is just an outright hit – for anyone. Any musician. Any human being.” –DrownedInSound

From one of the most seductive and stylish new bands of the year comes an absolutely irresistible slice of insidiously effective avant pop, in the form of The Hundred in the Hands’ new single “Commotion”. Now the track has a suitably chaotic and breathtaking video, directed by Daniels and premiered on Spin.com yesterday. It depicts an increasing number of story fragments, descending into commotion.
