SHAKING SENSATIONS, THE
START STOP WORRYING

"Start Stop Worrying" is the second full-length album by the Danish instrumental rock group The Shaking Sensations. Three years after the release of an EP entitled "This Is Your Hellfire Religion", and 2 years after the release of critically acclaimed debut album "East of Youth", the band now delivers their most mature output to date with their 2nd album, "Start Stop Worrying". During 4 extensive European tours in the past 2 years, the band has shared stage with acts such as Caspian, Black Math Horseman, And So I Watched You From Afar, Gifts From Enola and Russian Circles. The Shaking Sensations have expanded the classic rock constellation by addition of a second drummer, allowing the band to develop a unique approach to the rhythm section and a fresh and unconventional take on instrumental rock music. "Start Stop Worrying" showcases the courage of a young band to explore new approaches to music and sound, which clearly sets them apart from many of their peers within an over-saturated genre of music. On their second album, the band have gone for a more straight-forward approach to sound, as well as songwriting. "Start Stop Worrying" is more upbeat, more aggressive and somehow less naïve sounding than previous efforts, whilst maintaining its melancholic essence and emotional depth. The band originated almost 10 years ago in the windy outskirts of Denmark, and after different personal constellations and exploration of different musical territories, the current five-piece line up emerged. By touring relentlessly, the band - brothers by heart, only two of them by blood – has developed into an intense live act. "Start Stop Worrying" was recorded live in Copenhagen Studios, downtown Copenhagen, in late September 2012, then mixed and produced by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Russian Circles, Caspian) in Seattle. Matt's personal appreciation and involvement with the tracks he was mixing has resulted in him laying down additional synths and piano parts on the compositions, adding new layers and depth to the album. The record has been mastered by danish Emil Thomsen (Efterklang, Slaraffenland). The The artwork will consist of handcrafted illustrations by Danish artist Dorthe Naomi, which will be cut in linoleum and then silk-screen printed for the vinyl version of the album. The Shaking Sensations are the next band to follow in the footsteps of great Danish independent music culture, incarnated by bands such as Efterklang, Slaraffenland and Lis Er Stille.
