Artist Biography
Available in:

The Hundred in the Hands (sometimes abbreviated as THITH) is an American electronic music duo from Brooklyn, New York City, formed in 2008. The band consists of Eleanore Everdell (vocals, keyboards) and Jason Friedman (guitar, programming). The band was named after the phrase the Lakota Nation gave to the 1866 Fetterman Fight in Wyoming, in which Crazy Horse led his warriors to a victory that resulted in the death of 100 enemies. The band blends synthpop with post-punk and dream pop elements. They were influenced by artists such as Young Marble Giants, Wire, New Order, The Cure, De La Soul, Buddy Holly, Broadcast, Gang Gang Dance, and LCD Soundsystem.

In 2007, singer Holly Miranda introduced Everdell to Friedman. Everdell joined The Boggs as a touring member. The two decided to form a band after they discovered that they shared similar music taste for early hip hop, French house, disco, ska, dub, post-punk and other genres. They recorded the song "Dressed in Dresden" in Brooklyn, which was released online in December 2008. In March 2009 the band released the single "Dressed in Dresden"/"Undressed in Dresden" on the Pure Groove label. The success of this song led to a deal with Warp Records in August 2009, which Friedman calls "near the top of my list of ideal labels".

Warp issued the 12" single "Dressed in Dresden" on April 5, 2009. The duo's six-track debut EP This Desert was released on May 18, 2010, followed by the singles "Pigeons" on September 13, 2010 and "Commotion"/"Aggravation" on November 15, 2010. Their debut album, The Hundred in the Hands, was released on September 20, 2010 by Warp Records. The second studio album, Red Night, was released on June 11, 2012. While their third studio album, Love in the Black Stack, was released on June 15, 2017 by New Ancestors.
