: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: 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 yearÆs big ':
,: breakouts, and their remarkable debut album, æHaze,Æ solidifies :,
: their status as a band with ability to deliver on the :
:' well-deserved buzz. ':
,: :,
: When Max and Shannon met in high school, a bond was created that :
:' has permeated their music since the Shacks first incarnation ':
,: four years ago. That chemistry lies at the heart of æHaze,Æ a :,
: record so hypnotic and seductive that it feels more like a :
:' whispered late-night secret than a young bandÆs debut. Produced ':
,: together by Shrager and Big Crown co-founder Leon Michels (whoÆs :,
: played with Bradley, Sharon Jones, and Fields in addition to :
:' working with The Arcs, Lana Del Rey, and countless others), the ':
,: album was recorded in bits and pieces between ShragerÆs basement :,
: and MichelsÆ Diamond Mine studio, which the Observer dubbed ôthe :
:' Shangri La of Soul.ö ':
,: :,
: æHazeÆ opens with the title track, which is, appropriately :
:' enough, the first song Shrager and Wise ever wrote together. ':
,: ItÆs a spare, smoky tune that shimmers and sparkles as it shifts :,
: in and out of focus, and itÆs an ideal gateway into the :
:' immersive world of The Shacks. On the breezy ôFollow Me,ö they ':
,: channel the infectious charm of a 60Æs girl group, while the :,
: soulful ôMy Name Isö grooves its way through a mesmerizing take :
:' on 70Æs funk. Much like a dream, the songs often merge the ':
,: familiar and the unfamiliar, constructing their own psychedelic :,
: reality full of beauty and yearning, all fueled by WiseÆs :
:' breathy vocals and the unmistakable electricity of a wildly ':
,: creative band truly inhabiting their music. ôBirdsö makes :,
: brilliant use of Daptone drum hero Homer SteinwessÆs impeccable :
:' feel behind the kit, while the 50Æs ballad-meets-baroque pop of ':
,: ôCryinÆö tips its cap to Roy Orbison and John Lennon as Shrager :,
: takes over lead vocals, and the soulful shuffle of ôTexasö :
:' belies a dark and violent undercurrent ripped from the ':
,: headlines. Through it all permeates an unshakable sense that :,
: this is a group performing just for you. ôNobodyö finds the :
:' Shacks re-interpreting Phil SpectorÆs Wagnerian approach to ':
,: rock & roll, complete with sweeping strings and darkly innocent :,
: lyrics. 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 theyÆve been together, The Shacks have ':
,: already made an impressive mark. Their hypnotic cover of Ray :,
: DaviesÆ ôThis Strange Effectö soundtracked a global iPhone :
:' commercial, one which actually stars Wise herself, and their ':
,: self-titled EP earned the band dates with St. Paul & The Broken :,
: Bones, Chicano Batman, and their Big Crown Records labelmates :
:' Lee Fields & The Expressions. ':
