Invisible Hands (EP)

Invisible Hands is an EP by the American indie rock band Deerhunter, released in 2007 on the British record label Rare Book Room. It serves as a companion piece to their second full-length album, Cryptograms, and was recorded during the same sessions.

The EP features five tracks, showcasing a blend of Deerhunter’s experimental and melodic tendencies. Sonically, Invisible Hands leans towards a more atmospheric and textural sound than Cryptograms, incorporating elements of ambient music and drone. The lyrical themes explored are often introspective and deal with subjects such as isolation and memory.

The EP was generally well-received by critics, who praised its evocative atmosphere and its successful expansion of Deerhunter's sonic palette. It is considered a significant work in the band's early discography, demonstrating their evolving sound and songwriting capabilities.
