The Shacks

The Shacks' Timeless, Airy Psychedelic Pop

Soundcheck | Jan 29, 2018

New York-based band The Shacks play catchy music that has strong echoes of '60s pop and psychedelia, and touches of '70s soul too. Their nod to vintage sounds has ties to the storied production out of Daptone Records (home of the late Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings), where guitarist Max Shrager learned a few production tricks while touring with Charles Bradley and working with Naomi Shelton. The Shacks bring their psychedelic-vibed, timeless, dreamy pop in studio.

Set List:

  • Orchids
  • Birds
  • Sand Song
