Friedman was once a member of the indie rock outfit The Boggs. In November 2007, following a US tour supporting The Boggs’
third albumForts,Jason Friedman and touring member Eleanore Everdell found themselves in the studio recording a brand new
collaborative track without the restofthe band. Friedman said: “In the past, the collaborators I worked with would adjust what they
did to fit my vision. Working with Eleanore it wasclearthat the time had come to shift into a more equal partnership.” In the 10
months since that session, the seven-year-old The Boggs were laid torest,and The Hundred in the Hands were formed.
The first song completed was “Dressed In Dresden.” In March 2009 the band released the single Dressed In Dresden / Undressed In
Dresden onPureGroove label. The online success of this song led in August 2009 to a deal with Warp Records, which Friedman calls
“near the top of my list ofideallabels.” Warp issued the 12-inch single Dressed in Dresden in 5 April 2009. « hide |
