Shack - The Corner of Miles and Gil
Dave (wouldn't you know it) put me on to this latest release from Shack in another thread but this album deserves everybody's attention. It's been streaming through my pc for the last few days now and it's a gem, can't wait for my ordered copy to come through.
If you like the sound of The La's or Elbow or even the Super Furry Animals without the electronica then this is for you, beats me why they aren't more popular. It's features horns/strings guitars and warm vocals with that Liverpudlian twang, with some great harmonies in there and clever lyrics too.
Some albums you know when you first hear them, you just know this is the one, like an old comfortable pair of jeans it just feels right. Well this is the best album I've heard so far this year for this genre. Thanks again for the link on this one Dave.
Cheers
Mike
