Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving amidst highly publicized legal disputes with their former label, Tomas Kalnoky's ska-punk ensemble delivered an incredibly ambitious, densely orchestrated effort. 'The Hands That Thieve' pushes the structural boundaries of third-wave ska, integrating prominent acoustic folk instrumentation, shifting time signatures, and overwhelmingly triumphant horn arrangements.
