In addition to finally announcing their third album, “The Hands That Thieve”, Streetlight Manifesto has also announced a new album by frontman Tomas Kalnoky (performing under his solo pseudonym Toh Kay). The album, “The Hand That Thieves”, will follow Toh Kay’s practice of performing acoustic versions of Streetlight Manifesto songs:
“The new Toh Kay album is a companion piece to “The Hands That Thieve”; all the songs are performed by Toh Kay and his acoustic trio. The albums may have the same song titles, lyrics and chord progressions, but the similarities end there. The album has a laid back, late night, lazy feel – something to put your feet up to, when you’re not quite in the mood for the ball of frenetic energy that is Streetlight Manifesto.”

Both “The Hands That Thieve” and “The Hand That Thieves” will be released November 6, 2012, co-released by Victory Records and Pentimento Music Company. However, the band made a plea to fans some months ago to not purchase the album or anything Streetlight-related via Victory Records, due to countless disputes between the two parties. Instead, fans are encouraged to support the Streetlight-affiliated Pentimento Music Co., or to “find a way to get the tunes onto your computer that may not be, ahem, traditional.” Interpret as you will.
