"Whales Sing," the opening track on the Shaky Hands' debut album, features an extended organ and percussion instrumental groove that balances right on the edge of being a complete rip-off of Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose" as played by a bunch of indie-kid record store clerks. After that promising opening, the Portland, OR band quickly devolve into yet another post-Elephant 6 band of shambling, amiable dudes who seem to think that carefully deployed echoes of obscure old psych, folk and psych-folk records will make up for a lack of quality songwriting. Sometimes they come close: the jangly, sunshiny "Sunburns" sounds like Of Montreal on a big Harpers Bizarre kick, and "Host Your Day" and "Hold It Up" both bring the nervy, Krautrock-influenced rush of an old Flying Nun Records single. But the tunes aren't as catchy and memorable as they need to be, and the less said about Nicholas Delffs' weedy, off-key vocals, the better. Shaky Hands is proof that liking the right bands is not always enough. ~ Stewart Mason

Recording information: Sidecar Studios, Portland, OR (2006).Spin (p.90) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Refreshingly uncluttered tunes like 'The Sleepless' and 'We Will Rise' bring a relaxed, back-porch quality to [the album]..."
Magnet (p.107) - "[I]t mostly occupies that lush land between M. Ward's sleepiness and Devendra Banhart's freakiness."
CMJ (p.5) - "[T]he band has managed to make an album of warm, sprawling songs that sound so familiar, it's as if they have always existed." Shaky Hands Review

With chewy, rubbery guitar lines, hypnotic tattoos beating out on the drums, and repetitive vocal chants, the Seconds seem intent on marrying the most elemental energies of early punk to their hit-and-run songs.

Shaky Hands songs
$11.85  
EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME is the debut release on Sub Pop from Seattle's Band of Horses. Matt Brooke and Ben Bridwell have abandoned the melancholic slow-core of their previous band Carissa's Weird for a brighter, more straightforward indie rock sound with obvious roots in Neil Young's ragged folk and progressive indie bands like Built to Spill.
EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME benefits from strong songwriting, and the winding, yearning tenor of Bridwell, while the synthesis of introspective folky ...
| | Editors Back Room CD (2005)
Shaky Hands album
$5.95
US post-punk revivalists Interpol's 2002 debut made it possible for a wave of Joy Division copycats to ape those dark-but-danceable sounds of the late-1970s/early-'80s. By 2004, coming off like the bastard offspring of Ian Curtis and Echo & the Bunnymen was a ticket to the top of the charts, even in America. Unsurprisingly, it took the Brits to do it right. The hue and cry over Editors (please observe the absence of an article in their name) and their 2005 launch THE BACK ROOM (released stateside in '06) painted ...
| | Appleseed Cast Peregrine CD (2006) Digipak
Shaky Hands CD music
$10.09 
The Appleseed Cast has a sound that you might have a hard time categorizing until you hear someone use the phrase "Midwest post-rock." Then it becomes obvious that that's exactly what they sound like, even if the term itself is really kind of baffling. You have to hear it to understand: the Appleseed Cast's sound is often noisy, but is never just noise; they experiment with weird and unusual production approaches, but you wouldn't call them avant-garde. Nestled within the sometimes dense clouds of guitar noise are genuinely attractive hooks, and their songs often contain puzzling but highly effective contradictions. Note, for example, "Here We Are (Family in the Hallways)," which is one of the album's finest tracks and sounds both chaotically hooky and energetically heartbroken. Nothing can really prepare you for the sonically bizarre "Mountain Halo," but then, the Robert Smith vocal inflections on "February" ...

Shaky Hands songs

A marvelous idea that hopefully other companies emulate, these 43 tracks feature both sides of Al Green's Hi Records singles, in sequence. The uneven number of tracks (43), suggests that a track or two might have served double duty as the flip side of more than one single. The engaging B-sides include "Wish You Were Here," "What Am I Gonna Do With Myself," "All Because," "Ride Sally Ride," "I'm Glad You're Mine," "Old Time Lovin'," "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is," and "School Days." The A-sides are familiar to everyone: "Let's Stay Together," the Beatles' remake "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and "Tired of Being Alone." Some excellent album cuts like "Have You Been Making Out Okay" didn't fit the format so there's more Green to get to complete your library of one of the all-time greats. ~ Andrew Hamilton
UK two CD compilation from the Soul great containing the absolute best from his prolific and successful time on Hi Records during the '70s. When signed to the label by producer Willie Mitchell, everyone involved knew they were creating magic in the studio, but nobody could possibly foresee the effect that Al Green's music would have on the Soul and R&B scene. Over three decades later, his influence can still be heard and felt. This double disc set features great sleeve notes with many rarely seen photos. 43 tracks including 'Let's Stay Together', 'Ride Sally Ride', 'Tired Of Being Alone', 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' and 'Livin' For You'. Hi Records.
Recorded at Royal and Allied Studios, Memphis, Tennessee between 1969 and 1976. Includes liner notes by Geoff Brown.

| | Blueprint Project CD (2003)
Shaky Hands album
$14.69
Pianist Tyson Rogers, saxophonist Jared Sims, and guitarist Eric Hofbauer met in graduate school at the New England Conservatory of Music and have gelled as a trio. They recorded two earlier CDs together, but this third session adds two guests (both seasoned veterans) to the mix: bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Matt Wilson. It is clear that all three men are reaching new heights as composers as well as performers. Rogers' sauntering "Until We Have Names" mixes a hypnotic melody with an angular feeling. "Abdullah" is a catchy mix of gospel flavor with African rhythms in tribute to South African pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim, in which Rogers and Hofbauer interweave intricate solos underneath Sims' smoking tenor sax. One has to love a song titled "Dead Mouse Blues"; its mournful theme played in unison by Sims and Hofbauer before giving way to Rogers' frisky solo. The guitarist's twisting post-bop vehicle "The High Priest's Sermon" is a real cooker, while "Bench Carvin'" has a Thelonious Monk-like ...

Shaky Hands songs
$15.29
This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
The prospect of Michel Camilo playing Gershwin's concert music will probably come as a bolt from the blue to the jazz crowd, but to classical fans, it may come with a yawn. With all of those "Rhapsodies in Blue" and "Concertos in F" crowding the catalogs, do the shrinking shelves of classical record sections really need another? Put it another way, is this one different and illuminating enough to justify the extra inches of shelf space? Um -- no and no. Without a doubt, Camilo has a point to prove, and a track record behind it; among his classical accomplishments is a worthy Prokofiev-in-the- Caribbean piano concerto of his own composition (Decca). Yet from the highly mannered clarinet introduction onward, Rhapsody in Blue lurches from episode to episode, threatening to justify the original pedantic criticisms that the piece doesn't hang together well. Camilo is adrift in rubato and doesn't go anywhere. The cadenza is stop-and-start, with some repeated passages gratuitously swung or not at all; it makes no sense at all in this choppy conception. Though in the liner notes Camilo claims he hears the piece more in terms of the jazz and ragtime of the ...
