Manticore

This 2022 vinyl LP from Charleston's rock duo Shovels & Rope, titled Manticore, offers a unique musical journey. Originally set to be an acoustic - focused release, the songs were written before the pandemic but recorded during it when Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst had more free time. They re - imagined the arrangements, resulting in 10 new tracks. The sounds vary from heart - wrenching piano ballads to energetic hard - rock and danceable guitar - drum numbers. Manticore shares the band's most personal stories about love, family, marriage, and self - realization, marking a distinct spot in the Shovels & Rope catalog.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable, gently lower the needle onto the record, and let the music play. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. Clean the record periodically with a soft, anti - static brush to keep the sound quality at its best. Remember, vinyl records are delicate, so treat it with care for long - lasting enjoyment.
