Hundred Hands is a side-project of the Appleseed Cast's Aaron and Chris, and the product, with production help from Ed Rose, is a six-song EP called Little Eyes.

The songs are mostly cryptic story-tellers, and a fairly genuine sense of life passing by and breaking like night waves is created. Anything the Cast delves into is going to have an aura of pained, bored intelligence, and Hundred Hands' Little Eyes is not an exception.
