Should you be in need of a magical something that can lull you to sleep during your stressful life in the city, look no further than Brooklyn’s The Shacks and their first official single "Left It With The Moon." The song employs a timeless melody, Shannon Wise’s delicate soprano, and a few other rather rudimental instruments to reach into the listener’s buried childhood – and the sleeping proneness it entails: if sleeping like a baby is your ida of happiness, The Shacks are your kind of band. Earlier this year, the duo also unveiled a collaboration with instrumental NYC band El Michels Affair, which resulted in stunning single ‘Strange Boy,’ a more produced dream pop gem with shades of doo-wop complemented by an appropriately noir video (also streaming). Their self titled debut EP is scheduled to be released on October 28. Don’t miss their Brooklyn Bazaar show on September 29!
