Description
Imagine Yourself In Bed On Christmas Eve, You Are Not Really Awake Anymore, But Also Not Asleep Yet. Music Is Entering Your Subconscious Mind. You Feel Like Floating Into A Completely New World, A Fairytale World Of Lucid Dreams. The Music Sounds Familiar But At The Same Time Very Different From What You Are Used To Hear Around This Time Of The Year. It Is As If You Have Been Transposed To An Alternate World, Where Everything Is Blurred And Reality And Dreams Are Inseparable. That Otherworldly Music Is Joined By An Ethereal Voice, Singing About Christmas Being Here. And Then You Wake Up, See A Show White 7â Spinning On Your Record Player And You Realize You Have Been Listening To The New Shacksâ Christmas Single, That Santa Has Just Put There Without You Noticing It.
The Shacks Are The Duo Of Singer/Bassist Shannon Wise And Guitarist Producer Max Shrager. In 2016, The Shacks Were Featured On The Track âStrange Boyâ By Fellow New Yorkers El Michels Affair, Which Was Quickly Followed By An EP On Big Crown Records (Produced By El Michels Affairâs Leon Michels And Max), And Some 45s, Of Which Their Cover Of Ray Daviesâ âThis Strange Effectâ Received A Lot Of Praise, As Did Their 2018 Debut Album For Big Crown Records, âHazeâ. More Singles Followed, Most Recently A Split 7â With Label Mates Brainstory.
Apart From The Original âGot To Be Christmasâ, Co-Written By Brainstory, The Single The Shacks Recorded For The Ninth Edition Of The Snowflakes Christmas Singles Club Also Features A Cover Of One Of The Most Popular Christmas Songs Ever, Vince Guaraldiâs âChristmas Time Is Hereâ. Both The Original And Recent Cover Versions Of That Classic (Like That Of Khruangbin, With Whom The Shacks Have Also Toured) Already Sounded Dreamy, But The Shacks Take The Song Into A Completely Different Dimension. The Record Comes On Snow White Vinyl And Is Limited To 300 Copies.
