Bear Hands put out "Agora" early in 2014, the second single from their second album, Distraction, and it took the American experimental rockers up to 17 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, only the second song of theirs to chart at all. Ted Feldman, Val Loper, TJ Orscher and Dylan Rau share the writing credit. Feldman also co-produced it with Jake Aron and Yale Yng-Wong, the pair who engineered it, and James Brown mixed it for release on Cantora Records.
It's wiry, twitchy indie rock with a sharp ear for the hook, the kind of song that sounds best when it's being slightly strange.
