The Hands of the Wrong People is the musical vehicle of Scotland-bred, Berlin-based visual artist Dominic Hislop, accompanied live and on album by drummer Robert Wiesner, and most recently by bassist Plus Fox live. They released 2 eps in Germany, and Spring Flakes is their first full length.
Dominic’s songs draw from such seemingly disparate genres such as 80s Scottish pop, 90s Chicago style post-rock and contemporary underground folk. Imagine the jazz-influenced rock of Karate mixed with the pseudo-Chic funk of Orange Juice and the pop jangle of early Aztec Camera, and you begin to get a sense of the sound of Spring Flakes. The album addresses relationships & politics in the same breath, becoming a subtle form of protest music performed on the deceptively traditional lineup of amplified acoustic guitar, drums & bass.

If you’re in or near Berlin, make sure to catch their CD release at West Germany on July 3, with Erste Stufe Haifisch and Getting Up Every Morning.
