#NowPlaying #MusicSky S/T | Shaking Hand Really taken with this debut from the Manchester trio. It finds its purchase somewhere between emo & post-rock & rewards patient listening rather than waiting for the big payoff. It’s an excellent album…easily 1 of the best debut albums of the year so far.

❗Reflex Recommends❗ Manchester post-rockers Shaking Hand's eponymous debut has been on heavy rotation this week.. Their "Northwest emo" evokes the likes of Slint, early Mogwai/Arab Strap, Sunny Day Real Estate and more. Superb! Buy: reflexrecordshop.com/product/8643... @melodicrecords.bsky.social

the Shaking Hand album out today is the goods shakinghandband.bandcamp.com/album/shakin... “…musical DNA runs through experimental guitar outfits like Women, Slint, Sonic Youth, Pavement, and Ulrika Spacek, balanced with the melodic sensibility of Big Thief and the dynamic intimacy of Yo La Tengo”
