Shortly is a solo project belonging to Detroit native Alexandria Maniak.

In just over a year, Maniak has already shared stages with artists like Mitski, Title Fight, Jeff Rosenstock, Tiny Moving Parts, Half Waif, Tancred, and Mom Jeans. New works are forthcoming in 2018 on Triple Crown Records, with production from Joe Reinhart (Modern Baseball, Joyce Manor, Hop Along).
