Sounds Like
"The fusion of organic and electronic instruments proves that -- in this group's hands -- pop can be just as compelling and absolute as classical music." -Creative Loafing

". . . when the two diverging musical pulls finally come together on songs like "Tortoise" and "First Place," the result is breathtaking." -The Wheel

" A mix of stirring piano charges, sweeping vocals, and electro-experimental tricks...It's not a subtle brew, but it knows how to play a drama." - Download.com

"::OHLtO:: surely have one of the most unique sounds of any group currently calling Atlanta home...or from anywhere for that matter. Electronic percussion blurps and blips like artillery fire across a neo-classical bed of cello, piano, synths and flute, while airy, otherworldly vocals hoverhither and yon, fey and theatrical, bordering on operatic." - Stomp and Stammer

"To make music this engaging and beautiful is a feat in itself. This is their art, believe in it because it really is that good." - The Plastic Ashtray

So many different backgrounds mashed together and then squeezed into a slightly pulpy, somewhat synthetic, though unequivocally organic delight. One Hand Loves the Others took years to assemble. However, it was not until the fall of 2006 when old members left to pursue other endeavors that Lou and Nancy were left with no other choice but to wait patiently. Naturally yet quickly, Mikey and Tracy came into the hands of OHLtO, and the passionate four-piece group began to develop a new sound for their debut album. This final formation blends electro-indie beats with classical arrangements, provided by a multitude of orchestral instruments, and soulful, original vocals.

Lou, the lyricist and voice, emerged from a background inspired by blues and soul artists of the twentieth century female persuasion.
Nancy, the instrumental composer and fingers of the keyboard-synths and flute, blossomed out from classical piano and flute instruction.
Mikey, the electronics engineer and composer, came from the pits of electronic haze with a clear idea of the ability to merge the organic and synthetic.
Lastly, Mary, the cellist extraordinaire, picked up the bow where her precursor left it. She can make like the dickens on the strings of the cello.

All from different places, all on different paths, all had the same yearning to create music. It was an amalgamation of sorts. Some may say a quixotic one- OHLtO would probably take that as a compliment.

In May 2008, One Hand Loves the Other officially disbanded. Mikey, Nancy, and Mary have formed a new project (called tealights) and are planning to release their first EP in March '09. Lou has begun his own promotions company, Insubordinate Promotions and has begun promoting shows as of Sept '08.
All four bandmates have agreed to cease playing One Hand Loves the Other music to be loyal. Fans can still purchase CDs through iTunes and Stickfigure Records. T-shirts/merch are also available through Stickfigure so check it out!

so - Gray and I went to Lenny's last night to check it out - we're playing out as DL7 there for the first time in April - cool bar, great vibe - I mean, pinatas? sweet.

the best time part of the night was seeing OHLTO for the first time - we were blown away - interesting, creative, driving, melodic and (gasp) performed by people who can actually play, and play well. There's so little in the scene that's truly innovative and we were both seriously impressed - and inspired.

thanks Nancy for explaining your Reason setup - gave us some things to think about

great show - looking forward to more

In the Beginning of what I thought was my Childhood I found a toy called OneHandLovesTheOther. Though this toy never left the Underneath of my Pillow, it was always there to Sing Me to Sleep. Happiness it seems was found through the osmosis of Floating Away with something Beautiful each Night as I dreamed of New and Amazing Places. New friends; Lou drove the Chariot of fire, Nancy tamed the wild horses, Mary navigated through fields of glorious flowers and Mikey slept in the back all the while. It occured to me though, as I woke from something startling, did I take too much NyQuil before I went to sleep? The answer is "Yes". But the music was still as beautiful as before.
