Haze: Vinyl LP

Fronted by 19 - year - old Shannon Wise on vocals and bass and 21 - year - old Max Shrager on guitar and production, The Shacks are set to be one of this year's big breakthrough bands. Their debut album, 'Haze,' cements their status as a talented group living up to the hype. Max and Shannon's bond, formed in high school, is the heart of this record. Produced by Shrager and Big Crown co - founder Leon Michels, 'Haze' was recorded in Shrager's basement and Michels' 'Shangri La of Soul' studio. The title track, their first co - written song, is a smoky tune that leads you into The Shacks' immersive world. 'Follow Me' channels 60s girl - group charm, 'My Name Is' offers a 70s funk take, and each song creates a psychedelic reality with Wise's breathy vocals. With songs like 'Birds' featuring great drumming, 'Cryin’' tipping to Orbison and Lennon, and 'Texas' hiding a dark undercurrent, 'Haze' plays like a lost 16mm film soundtrack. In a short time, The Shacks have made an impact, with their cover on an iPhone ad and their EP getting them great gigs.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, center it, and lower the tonearm onto the groove. Sit back and let the music of The Shacks' 'Haze' transport you. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. Store the vinyl in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can damage the vinyl. If the record gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove any debris.
