Corresponding Handpieces second full-length album was recorded in the same studio as the first, but, where IN OUR GLOWING BASEMENT was moody and experimental, PET ME turned out to be joyous, much more pop-oriented, although never sacrificing Corresponding Handpieces sense of weirdness for a second. Critically acclaimed and the most alarmingly popular release in C.Hand's discography, it remains remarkably fresh long after its release.

Tasty, delicious, fantastic, and fun. They covered our song "Save the Leaves" [on the SWEET & FINAL single], and turned it into something magical. Same goes for them ... Corresponding Handpieces
For a guy with hardcore rock pumping through his blood, it's cool to see him open up his sound to organic, beautiful new styles, be they ambient or whimsical pop. A super-fun record. Corresponding Handpieces
We can't even describe the sounds that Ryan Reed and Jamie Wolfe make together, but it's a bit of a wild thing, avant-pop showcase that defies easy classification. Their discography is rather deep. Corresponding Handpieces
Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016
