The Shaky Hands - Lunglight album flac

The album approximates the irresistibly frenetic Shaky Hands live experience, which finds frontman Nick Delffs stomping and galloping across the stage, occasionally running directly into bassist Mayhaw Hoons’ wildly swinging curly red hair.

One moment Delffs quivers with anxiety, the next he unleashes the kind of confident, animal scream that made 1960s garage so sexy

With Lunglight, their second album, The Shaky Hands have foregone the folksier tendencies of their debut, relying more heavily on electric guitars and a more insistent vocal presence. Their lyrics remain facelessly vague, still delivered with Nick Delffs' Conor Oberst-via-Damon Albarn-via-Tom Petty vibrato; lines like "Show Me Your Life"'s "We could be free in the country/ Far from the city lights/ That have been tearing my soul" are typical of their hopelessly generic musings, while "World's Gone Mad"'s "See it comin' in his eyes/.
