Track of the Day | Bengal Lancers – The Shakes

Bengal Lancers have unveiled their new single ‘The Shakes’.

Speaking of the single, guitarist Harry Sullivan said: “’The Shakes’ is probably the first song we ever wrote as a group, but it hasn’t really aged. If anything it was a bit ahead of everything else we wrote during that time. On the surface, it’s about looking after a friend who’s had a bad turn on a night out: That moment of immediate clarity you have when “something isn’t right and I need to do something about it”, but I guess it’s just about pulling people back from the edge when they aren’t feeling 100%.”

A non-stop journey, growing to a chorus that sounds set to explode, ‘The Shakes’ is a high tempo treat. Just when you think it’s time to breathe, the track erupts into a raucous affair with almost chant-like vocals creating a track that cleverly embraces all elements of the band’s post-punk meets indie-pop blend.
