CELEBRATING NEW ALBUM 'A T M O S P H E R I C S'
OUT FEBRUARY 14 VIA CIVILIANS

Canberra's Hands Like Houses are closing in on the release of their 16-track double album, 'A T M O S P H E R I C S' out February 14 via Civilians, and today they announce three intimate album launch shows this February featuring exclusive early documentary screenings and re-imagined renditions in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. Tickets on sale now!

Made up of four Volumes; Tropo(sphere), Strato(sphere), Meso(sphere) and Thermo(sphere), 'A T M O S P H E R I C S' has allowed Hands Like Houses to build and shape themselves into a new version, led by the charismatic frontman Josh Raven. The quintet can't wait to hit the road and celebrate the album in real time with fans across the East Coast. "We are so excited to put together some intimate launch events for our new album," tells the band. "We have never given much of a look inside our process of making a record, so we'll be screening a first cut of a documentary we made while recording the album. We have also always loved re-imaging our songs, and can't wait to strip them back and share some more intimate stories about the process and where we are at."

Hands Like Houses will make an appearance at Crowbar Sydney on Saturday February 15, Heaps Normal Warehouse in Canberra Monday February 17 and Stay Gold Melbourne on Tuesday February 18. The band will also make their way around Australia supporting The Butterfly Effect on a huge regional run beginning next Friday – tickets on sale now.

The anticipated album, 'A T M O S P H E R I C S', is about learning how to fly again, on their own terms refreshed and as an independent band. Hands Like Houses started writing songs with friends and mentors as a way to explore ways to make the project feel more like a collective. It was at this time they reconnected with Josh Raven (The Faim), and although they had recorded tracks with metalcore legend Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost) on Better Before, then also The Getaway Plan for Paradise and Obey feat Kellin Quinn, it was Josh they formed a magical connection with and have now formed Hands Like Houses a-new.

Hands Likes Houses inject a fresh dose of modern stadium rock into Australia’s thriving alternative scene. The band has achieved 2 x Top 10 ARIA charting albums, over 130,000 album sales and 230 million Spotify streams. The five-piece – comprised of Josh Raven (vocals), Alexander Pearson (guitar), Joel Tyrrell (bass), Matt Cooper (guitar), Matthew Parkitny (drums) – have thrilled audiences around the world with their dynamic live performances, sharing arena stages with heavyweights such as Bring Me The Horizon and A Day To Remember at home, to performing internationally alongside legendary acts including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice Cooper and Disturbed, on Download Festival and Rock on the Range to name a few.

Join Hands Like Houses in celebrating 'A T M O S P H E R I C S', available Friday February 14 via Civilians, pre-orders live now.
