Description
Thy is a Word + Feet Need Lamps is an album by the American indie combo Half-Handed Cloud, independently released on Asthmatic Kitty Records in March 2005, distributed by arrangement with Sounds Familyre. The album was recorded January-June 2004 by band member John Ringhofer at The Boat Anchor in Berkeley, California. Additional recording and mixing by Daniel Smith of Danielson fame at The New Jerusalem Recreational Room in Clarksboro, New Jersey, October 2004. All songs written and arranged through John Ringhofer.
Half-handed Cloud’s third release on Asthmatic Kitty Records revisits Bible verses and stories- predominantly Old Testament- that you may not have heard about in Sunday school.
Half-Handed Cloud’s third album for Asthmatic Kitty offers a new collection by singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist John Ringhofer, whose earlier efforts, “Learning About Your Scale” (1999) and “We Haven’t Just Been Told, We Have Been Loved” (2002) stumped critics who tried to draw comparisons with other artists. The word “solo” may apply to his unpredictable multi-media performances, but no instrumental digression stands in the way of his mission – to jam as much humor, spirit and imagination into as brief a song package as possible. Features guitars, cellos, pianos, bassy/breathy church organs, woodwinds, brass, non-instrument sounds, an eight-person choir, and various percussion, recorded almost entirely in a roomy church sanctuary.
