LA-based multi-instrumentalist Maddie Jay nails it on “Shakes,” a neurotic-but-captivating indie rock jam. Throughout the song, Maddie Jay repeats, “If I could calm myself down I could handle it all,” perfectly encapsulating the anxiousness of millennial angst. This one is full of urgent guitar-pop energy, but is especially breathtaking around the 1:35 mark where everything drops out into a dreamy section; a proverbial breath-catching moment in an otherwise tightly-wound song.
