The Shaky Hands Releasing Let It Die On Kill Rock Stars! Download “Allison And The Ancient Eyes” now! CMJ + October Tour Dates Announced!

Let It Die is The Shaky Hand’s second album on Kill Rock Stars and the first featuring new drummer Jake Morris (The Joggers, Pseudosix). Recorded immediately upon the band’s return from seven weeks of supporting The Thermals’ Spring US tour, Let It Die is the sound of a band at the top of their game. Armed with a solidified line-up and some of the best songs the band has written, they brought their live energy into the studio and captured it perfectly. Jay Pellicci’s (Deerhoof, Erase Errata, Subtle) production is solid, immediate, and the songs sound absolutely huge.

Let It Die will be a watershed record for this band on the verge.

“The Shaky Hands’ recombination of the revisionism of Elephant 6 and Guided by Voices is a good time.” – Metromix

“The band is still indebted to early R.E.M., Mission of Burma, and other first-generation American post-punks, but they’ve kicked the winsome jangle and amateurish faux folk to the curb and pounded a case of Red Bull.” – Pitchfork
