If you checked out New Shack‘s killer remix of DWNTWN’s “Stood Me Up” this past weekend, I’m pretty sure you were intrigued and wanted to hear more from the Provo, UT duo. There’s something in the water over in Provo – with Neon Trees and Fictionist hailing from there, both slaying us with the sexiest 80’s throwback feels – it’s quite evident that there’s a new movement coming. Comprised of Eric Robertson and Catherine Leavy, New Shack create a unique mix of retro analog synth instrumentals and dreamy pop vocals that carry dark and abstract lyrics. In other words, this is the stuff I live for. The band’s newest masterpiece, “House of Frankenstein,” is equal parts dreamwave bliss as it is haunting, giving off a darker Purity Ring vibe.
