In the vicinity of a quantum critical point for a stripe instability the electrons are coupled to charge and spin fluctuations characterized by a wavevector incommensurated with the lattice. As a consequence spectral weight is transferred from the quasi-particle peak to shadow resonances. The results of a perturbative analysis are compared with recent experiments on the single-particle spectra and the Fermi surface in high-Tc superconductors.
