A beautiful, epic concoction of folk and acoustic from Liverpool's answer to Belle And Sebastian.
Formed back in the Eighties, Shack have battled against the odds ever since, never enjoying chart success but have quietly gathered a legion of fans anyway.
Now signed to Noel Gallagher's boutique label, Sour Mash, they've found a home where they can release music they want without pressure to be fashionable or million sellers.
On The Corner Of Miles And Gil carries on from where Here's Tom With The Weather left off a couple of years ago big soothing melodies mixing both traditional and experimental songwriting.
Stand-out tracks Tie Me Down and Finn, Sophie, Bobby and Lance show this off best, but overall it's a fantastic release which could well bring Shack more exposure.
Released May 15, 2006.
