    The best MBD album so far! It's even better than the very good: All Things Will Unwind (2011). I tend to agree with New Musical Express (9/10), All Music Guide (4/5) and Blurt Magazine (4/5) reviews on this one. Highly recommendable!

    This is My Hand is one big ball of skill, imagination and love of musical creation.

    A thrumming, tribal first half gives way to a haunting, ethereal second. [No. 113, p.59]

    While This Is My Hand carries the celestial torch held high by My Brightest Diamonds’ previous works, and does so with a discerning eye to continuity, it also doesn’t break any ground.
