Shovels & Rope – Manticore
The sixth album by Charleston's own Shovels & Rope is a snarling hybrid beast. To bring the creature to life we embraced the myth, the metal and the mayhem with some black magic and frankenstein-ed collage to give the Manticore the storied world it deserves.

Manticore has arrived wherever you listen. Meet the beast.
