The Shacks - Haze

<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/the-shacks-haze">Rough Trade Exclusive. 1500 Copies only on Coke Clear Vinyl with Download and Bonus CD.</a>

One of the best debut albums you'll hear this year, The Shacks are already well on their way to becoming one of 2018's big breakouts.

Fronted by 19-year-old singer &amp; bassist Shannon Wise and 21-year-old guitarist Max Shrager, and produced together by Shrager and Big Crown co-founder Leon Michels, The Shacks' debut was recorded in bits and pieces between Shrager's basement and Michels' Diamond Mine studio, which the Observer has dubbed "the Shangri La of Soul". The result is lavish ‘60s pop soul orchestra action with rich production including swirling, whirling organ, brass punctuation and romantically yearning plucked guitars. The album's opener in particular shimmers and sparkles as it shifts in and out of focus, and is an ideal gateway into the immersive world of The Shacks.

Albums of the Year 2018

The Shacks are a dynamic duo consisting of Max Shrager and vocalist Shannon Wise. With their unique blend of indie rock, dream pop, and soulful melodies, they have captivated audiences worldwide. Max's impressive guitar skills combined with Shannon's mesmerizing vocals create a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. Their debut album, released in 2016, received critical acclaim and established them as rising stars in the music industry. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, The Shacks continue to push boundaries and deliver unforgettable musical experiences.
Max Shrager's passion for music began at an early age when he picked up the guitar for the first time. Influenced by classic rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, Max honed his skills as a guitarist and songwriter. His innovative approach to playing has earned him recognition among fellow musicians and fans alike.
Vocalist Shannon Wise possesses a voice that is both hauntingly beautiful and effortlessly powerful. Drawing inspiration from artists like Billie Holiday and Nancy Sinatra, she brings a timeless quality to The Shacks' music. Her ability to convey emotion through her vocals adds depth to their songs.

One of 2018's best breakout albums is The Shack's debut album Haze on Rough Trade Exclusive Coke Clear Vinyl with Bonus CD.

Haze, a record so hypnotic and seductive that it feels more like a whispered late-night secret than a young band's debut. The 13 songs featured on Haze plays out like the soundtrack to some long lost 16mm film, beckoning you into their grainy, saturated world of analog beauty. In the short time that they've been together, The Shacks have already made an impressive mark. Their hypnotic cover of Ray Davies' This Strange Effect soundtracked a global iPhone commercial, one which actually stars Wise herself, and their self-titled EP earned the band dates with St. Paul and The Broken Bones, Chicano Batman, and their Big Crown Records label mates Lee Fields and The Expressions.

One of the best debut albums of 2018. Fronted by 19-year-old singer / bassist Shannon Wise and 21-year-old guitarist / producer Max Shrager, The Shacks are already well on their way to becoming one of the year's big breakouts, and their remarkable debut album, Haze, solidifies their status as a band with ability to deliver on the well-deserved buzz.
