  1. Mojo

    Let It Die's first six tracks find The Shaky Hands joyously rocking it up - like the less self-consciously arty Wilco, pre-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - while the more reflective mood that settles over the album's second half is a wistful reverie rather than a spiritual malaise. [Feb 2010, p. 102]

  2. Spin

    The arresting second album from this five-piece trades the jangly folk rock of their only-pleasant debut for a harsher, more jittery approach.
  3. Tiny Mix Tapes
    30
    What was once shambling and humble and fun has turned into another anonymous, swaggering, guitar-driven indie rock act.
