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.

Back In Stock

Unknown Mortal Orchestra's highly anticipated new album Sex &amp; Food. Available here on Opaque Pink Colored LP, Black LP, CD and Cassette.

Sex &amp; Food is the most eclectic and expansive Unknown Mortal Orchestra release yet, from the light-footed R&amp;B of "Hunnybee" to the stomping flange of "Major League Chemicals." "If You’re Going to Break Yourself" and "Not in Love We're Just High" chronicle the effects of drugs and addiction on personal relationships, while the lyrics "Ministry of Alienation" drip with modern-day paranoia like the silvery guitar tones that jewel the song's structure. The modern world, and all the thorny complications that come with living in it, loomed large on Ruban's mind while making Sex &amp; Food. Though he's not afraid to get topical throughout, as evidenced on the surprisingly boisterous "American Guilt" or the roomy-disco medication-meditation "Everyone Acts Crazy Nowadays".

Where are we headed? What are we consuming, how is it affecting us, and why does everything feel so bad and weird sometimes? These are some of the questions posed on Ruban Nielson's fourth album as Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Sex &amp; Food. Recorded in a variety of locales from Seoul and Hanoi to Reykjavik, Mexico City, and Auckland, Sex &amp; Food is a practical musical travelogue, with local musicians from the countries that Neilson and his band visited pitching in throughout.

A statement of selflessness, to be sure-but make no mistake: Sex &amp; Food reaffirms the vitality of Ruban's voice in today’s musical landscape.

For a limited time, we've transformed our Sonos Room into a pinkhouse bunker exhibition for Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Sex and Food release! Come check it out!
