The Shacks return with ‘Wings;’ the highly anticipated new single that is sure to fly into the hearts and minds of their fans. A bottom-heavy-feel-good anthem that cuts its way through the speakers from the first note.

‘Wings’ is equal parts new sonic landscape and familiar territory for The Shacks. Their debut eponymous EP took the world by storm with its smash hit ‘This Strange Effect.’ Since then, they have been touring the U.S. and Europe alongside the likes of Khurangbin and Chicano Batman supporting their 2018 critically acclaimed debut album ‘Haze.’ It’s no doubt that all this touring is responsible for this infectiously catchy and tasteful crowd pleaser. The pulsing guitar and downbeat force you to move your feet while Shannon encourages you to take a break from your troubles. This is sure to be an anthem for Spring and should hold fans over while The Shacks finish up their new record due out in the winter of 2021.

Fronted by singer/bassist Shannon Wise and guitarist/producer Max Shrager, The Shacks’ cinematic songs are the soundtrack to a mysterious alternate reality.

Fuelled by Wise’s intimate, unmistakable vocals and the electricity the band generates, The Shacks made an early mark with their self-titled EP and debut full length album Haze, garnering the attention of Billboard, Pitchfork, NPR, KCRW, KEXP and more. The band was named an NPR Slingshot artist, World Café called their music “the early work of a force to be reckoned with” and Vice i-D raved that they “bring a fresh sensibility to classic American sounds.” The buzz continued as the band’s hypnotic cover of Ray Davies’ “This Strange Effect” soundtracked a worldwide iPhone commercial. The Shacks’ signature sound and blending of genres has gained them a worldwide fan base. The group has toured internationally with artists such as Khruangbin, Lee Fields & The Expressions and Chicano Batman.

Their debut record, Haze, released on Big Crown Records and produced by Shrager and Leon Michels of El Michels Affair feels more like a whispered late-night secret than a young band’s debut. Much like a dream, the songs merge the familiar and the unfamiliar, constructing their own psychedelic reality full of beauty and yearning.
