The group note that the new single came together in true Haiku Hands fashion “Conclusions is a driving in the car late at night, volume maxed, head banging, face scrunching kind of track. Pulsing burnt bass lines and driving drums juxtaposed by floating melodic vocals instantly transport you to the organised chaos of Haiku Hands’ car yard complete with guard dog. Written in full stream of consciousness mode and off a beat written on an iPhone on a plane by Suburban Dark, it’s a timely effortless take on human differences, ideas and why none of it matters when you’re in the zone.”
The video for ‘Conclusions’ was shot by three different cinematographers in three difference cities. Full of glitches in the matrix, lucid dreams and unexpected moments, Haiku Hands’ new video takes you on a wild ride through misty mountain highways, Sydney deserted carparks and median strips in Melbourne.

More on Haiku Hands:
Rebellious, experimental and wildly unconventional, Haiku Hands was primarily recorded in Melbourne with Joel Ma (Joelistics) and features emblematic collaborations with SOFI TUKKER, Mad Zach, Machine Drum, Mirac, Elgusto of Hermitude and Lewis CanCut. Featuring lead singles ‘Not About You,’ ‘Manbitch‘ and ‘Onset,’ the 12-track LP probes themes including technology, relationships, the absurd and social commentary. “The record explores an attitude of empowerment, humour and positivity whilst also delving into darker themes and expressions. We aimed to be original in our creative choices, we were influenced by multiple genres and artists but were aiming to create something that sounded new and different,” muses Haiku Hands of the album. Listen to Haiku Hands HERE.
Based across Melbourne and Sydney, the core of Haiku Hands is Beatrice Lewis, Claire Nakazawa and Mie Nakazawa. Together, they curate, perform and work as a collective of artists, engaging and exploring social norms with their lyrical and visual content.
