Utah and Germany seem like they are light years from each other, and not just in terms of geography but culturally speaking as well. Sometimes, though, two different worlds can come together to make beautiful harmony. Especially if you are the brand new synth pop duo New Shack, who hails from those two distinct places.
Consisting of Eric Robertson and Catherine Leavy, there isn't a whole lot of info about New Shack besides where they're from. That's not to say that there's not a lot to love about their first single, "Neptune."
With a spacey vibe featuring some fluttery synths, I just can't help but think about Beach House's breakout track "Norway." The synthesizer intentionally finds itself sliding out of key and back again creating a haunting effect, priming your ears as the track jumps to life with a dancey bass line and Leavy's reverbed, gentle vocals.
Look for New Shack's debut EP dropping today, and make sure to make your way over to their Facebook page to find some details.
