Hand Gestures Release New Single “Once it Starts to Kick In” Ahead of Forthcoming Debut Album

Brooklyn indie outfit ✌️Hand Gestures✌️ have released their new single “Once it Starts to Kick In,” a track about anticipation, true friendship, and finding belief in yourself. The song leads into the band’s self-titled debut album, arriving October 31 on Campers’ Rule Records with a limited 12” vinyl edition.

Born from songwriter Brian Russ’s late-night sessions and a spark of creativity on a family road trip, Hand Gestures evolved into a full band that thrives on raw energy and heartfelt storytelling.

Hand Gestures Finds Beauty Beyond Labels in New Lyric Video Premiere

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Brian Russ, with his new band Hand Gestures, has premiered the lyric video for single “Label the Labelmaker” on V13.net. Shot across the Badlands, Yellowstone, and Acadia National Park during a 2024 road trip, the self-directed video pairs sweeping landscapes with the track’s warm, country-folk spirit.

The song began with a quirky school memory—labeling a label-maker—and grew into what V13 calls “a meditation on the human urge to name and categorize our experiences.” It’s both playful and tender, offering gentle wisdom for Russ’s young daughter and anyone navigating life without the perfect label.

“Label the Labelmaker” is the first single from the band’s debut self-titled album, out October 31 on Campers’ Rule Records. Preorder vinyl via Bandcamp.
