Mei Semones shares '2 Hands' video shot in the Bronx

Mei Semones has shared "2 Hands" as the second single and video from her album Howl. The song follows the lead single "Howl" and Semones sings it in both Japanese and English. Drummer Ransom McCafferty plays tabla on the track.

The music video for "2 Hands" was directed by Jacob Rodier and filmed in the Bronx. The video features Semones performing with McCafferty, violist Noah Leong, violinist Claudius Agrippa and bassist Noam Tanzer.

Howl was recorded at Manhattan's Power Station. The album follows Semones' 2025 debut album, Animaru. Semones' songwriting moves between Japanese and English and draws on jazz, bossa nova, samba and math rock.
