Shaky today has revealed the chunky new rock tune, "In a Heartbeat", and it's one of those nostalgic hits that'll have you hooked from the intro riff.
... a chunky, nostalgia-soaked garage rock rush

The song captures the rush of melodic garage rock with the warmth of the 1990s, but with a punch of modern indie rock grit. Vocally it's in teh same realm as The Strokes, moody and commanding, but with a sense of emotion behind it.
Add into the song a decent amount of electronics, mainly synths and keys, and what you have here is a gritty nostalgia-laden track with a bit of sparkle.
What makes "In a Heartbeat" truly more impressive is that it's a one-man operation. All written, performed, produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by Shaky himself, which is astonishing, as this sounds so fluid and polished, almost live, it was recorded with a live band in a studio in Nashville!
