Post-punk electro band Bear Hands is making a highly anticipated return with their first bit of new music in five years. Today, they share the euro-deranged “Intrusive Thoughts,” which takes a left turn from where they left off in 2019 with their album Fake Tunes. The track was recorded at a small home studio in Cherry Hill, NJ and produced by Elliott Kozel (Yves Tumor, Jean Dawson, Lizzo), Alex M and the band.

2024 also marks ten years since the release of Bear Hands’ acclaimed sophomore album Distraction. To celebrate, the band has confirmed the “Distraction 10” Fall tour of North America, with dates kicking off on October 27 in West Hartford, CT, and concluding in Seattle, WA, on November 17.
