The band's lead vocalist, Trenton Woodley, has emphasized the importance of this album as a new era for the band, marked by creative freedom and a renewed musical direction.
Hands Like Houses is set to embark on a tour in 2025, including dates with The Butterfly Effect, although specific tour details related to the promotion of "Chemicals" or "Atmospherics" have not been announced. The tour will give fans the opportunity to experience the new material live, highlighting the band's energetic and engaging stage presence.
With a career spanning over a decade, Hands Like Houses has achieved significant success, including two Top 10 ARIA charting albums and over 130,000 album sales. They have also amassed 230 million Spotify streams and shared stages with notable acts such as Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Alice Cooper.
