A band to keep your ear on: The Shacks play Baby’s All Right on 11.30

With just one track under their belt (released about one month ago), NYC’s The Shacks still have a long way to go in the wonderfully complicated path towards "band stardom." However, that one track they have is charming the heck out of us. Entitled "Texas," the tune is a quirky, Stereolab-esque waltz, that thanks to Shannon Wise’s whispered, semi-unintelligible vocal melodies comes across as some kind of playful, musical courting ritual. Our ears sure fell for it. The duo also comprises a dude named Max Shrager, and you’ll be able to see it live at Baby’s All Right on November 30th.
