This balance is seen in the title track and album opener where the protagonist wonders whether he has witnessed a UFO but ends more prosaically with, \"Where is the party tonight?\/To stand by a tiki bar with Christmas lights\/I want something I can't fnd\/ we drive around dark tenements searching\". Similarly the heroic fshing photos of 'City Map' poke at deeper yearnings: \"is it true you can wake up somewhere new\/ just shrug it off and transform?\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften referred to as the artist's artist M G has been a much sought after collaborator in the folk and Americana scenes, having signifcant tenures in the Simone Felice Group, The Duke and the King, Emily Portman's Coracle Band, Blue Rose Code, The Owl Service \u0026amp; Jon Boden's Remnant Kings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDays of Shaking was produced by long time collaborator Andy Bell and features a cast of fellow Hudson Records artists, Lucy Farrell (The Furrow Collective), Harriet Bradshaw, Neil McSweeney, Helen Bell and Tom Lenthall, it was recorded mostly at Red Kite studios in Wales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLIVE:\u003cbr\u003e17 May - The Globe, Newcastle\u003cbr\u003e24 May - Bluestone Brewing Company, Newport\u003cbr\u003e29 May - Green Note, Camden\u003cbr\u003e30 May - The Greystones, Shefeld\u003cbr\u003e08 Jun - The Fishermen's Chapel, Leigh on Sea\u003cbr\u003e09 Jun - The Stag Inn, Hastings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP Tracks: Days of Shaking \/ Quiet \/ 10 Habits of Successful People \/ Silver Birches \/ Talk to Me of Water \/ James Mason \/ The Masterless Man \/ The Hotel at Midnight \/ Fox Running \/ The Jaws of Nothing \/ City Map \/ Blonde Pine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"HUDSON RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43728517726364,"sku":"HUD050LP","price":30.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/0_6a9318c5-01b4-408c-a777-b9811b5fbfc7.jpg?v=1716316832","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/m-g-boulter-days-of-shaking-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
