Shaking Hand are a Manchester trio who construct long slowburning post-rock in multiple tunings and time signatures, taking inspiration from modernist architecture, 90s US alternative and midwestern emo. The band’s 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.

Landing ahead of the band’s biggest headline tour to date, plus dates supporting Shaking Hand, Brighton post-rock/folk quartet ladylike return with intimate new single ‘Borrowed Time’, released in September via Heist or Hit (Her’s, Westside Cowboy, The Slow Country, Makeshift Art Bar).
Shacking up in a renovated chapel studio in Pembrokeshire, Wales with producer Balázs Altsach (Ugly, Orchestra (for now)) ‘Borrowed Time’ sees the band bring a more experimental approach to the studio, recording, mixing and mastering the track within a rapid three week stretch.
Tracked by the band together in the same room, it feels tantalisingly exposed, loaded with the spontaneity of off-the-cuff performance, its deft musical storytelling rising and falling between momentous rushes of slowcore and the stock-stillness of folk.
