“One can’t help but wonder about the hands referred to on ‘Are These Your Hands? Would You Like Them Back?’. Featuring a recitation by the spoken word poet Majd Shidiac, the track is a meditation, his unwavering voice criss-crossing between a tranquil and pensive mass of echoey loops and modulations.” - Christina Hazboun for The Quietus.
