OAKHANDS • The Shadow Of Your Guard Receding • LP

This Charming Man Records

Oakhands, from Munich, Germany, have built their sound right on the borders of post-hardcore, emo, and indie rock.
Their debut album, “The Shadow of Your Guard Receding,” released via This Charming Man Records, follows their critically acclaimed EP released on Uncle M.
It delivers 11 brand-new tracks exploring themes like family, mental health, social anxiety, and modern masculinity — full of emotion, with an aesthetic reminiscent of the writerly approach of the Sturm & Drang period.

Their music is complex, metaphorical, and abstract in its storytelling — sometimes appearing artsy — which contrasts strikingly with their stripped-down, intense live performances.

“The Shadow of Your Guard Receding” will be visualized through seven conceptual videos telling a single story across three different time layers. So dive into the world of Oakhands with all the concentration and passion you can muster for this adventurous musical journey.
