album The Shaky Hands - Lunglight mp3 download

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. Where the Hands’ debut was jangly and upbeat, prompting visions of long summer days spent lounging on the front porch, Lunglight lives in a slightly darker space.

Album · 2007 · 13 Songs. While not quite as quirky as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and not as desperate as Broken Social Scene, Portland’s Shaky Hands seem to have dipped into those bands’ gene pool and come up with a parallel sort of off-kilter, neo-jangle pop sound, capable of charming the sour out of a lemon. Nick Delffs (also of Castanets) has a warble that is equal parts tender and rough around the edges (Devendra Banhart’s distant cousin perhaps?), and is prone to lyrics that are both endearing and hopeful ( And when you cast me out/ I'm floating like a feather, But I know how to breathe )

The Shaky Hands, Portland, Or. s most likable band, return with a solid, promise-fulfilling successor to last year's self-titled LP. Often ferocious, usually catchy, and occasionally sinister, these tracks recall early . Mission of Burma, and other first-generation American post-punkers. Likable" could be the most withering epithet in the book of faint praise.

The Shaky Hands: Lunglight. Nicholas Delffs knows how to put a girl at ease. We'll go on a date," the Shaky Hands's shaky-voiced singer enthuses at the beginning of Show Me Your Life, as a guitar melody ripples sweetly behind him and handclaps provide a cheerful backbeat. I've been abused so I'm living in hate," he adds enticingly. I'm feeling dead, just leave me to ro. Lunglight is packed with this sort of jolting disjunction. One moment Delffs quivers with anxiety, the next he unleashes the kind of confident, animal scream that made 1960s garage so sexy

The Shaky Hands were a Portland, Oregon-based rock group, formed in 2003 by musician Paul Culp, of "Lonesome Radio Heart" and Colin Anderson. Nicholas Delffs joined soon after on vocals and guitar. They spent the next three years gradually building a following in the Portland area and self-releasing two CDs, one informally called The Skidmore Days, which is a lo-fi full-length album recorded in future guitarist Jeff Lehman’s North Portland basement and mixed by Alex Arrowsmith. The band signed to UK independent label Memphis Industries in the summer of 2007, just as they began recording their second album, Lunglight. They released the eponymous debut in the UK & Continental Europe on November 26, 2007.
