I so dig what you mean, it's like it's on some special "I will crawl inside your head and make you go insane" frequency. Unexplicably pleasurable. And the choruses with the backing vocals ain't helping much either. And doesn't Sea legs flow so incredibly? It's been playing in a continuous loop in my head for the past few days....no matter what I'm doing, it's in the background....if I ever lose it, I'm blaming The shins!

Agreed swim, the best album cover art they've had by far. I'm so getting this album when it finally comes out. I can already safely say it's one of the best in 2007.

Ooo I like this band! I have Chutes Too Narrow but must get my hands on a few more albums methinks.

i love love love the shins.

first song i heard by them was kissing the lipless.
new slang is my favourite song by them though.

I just downloaded kissing the lipless....urf...
The guys vocals just eviscerated my ears. The guitar is kinda simplistic... Same with lyrics.

Maybe it's just this song but... Ugh, not very good in my opinion. Definetely not indie, more alternative. So i guess it belongs here, but i don't think this is Indie. Or experimental.

my 2 cents

the new cd(bit torrent) is spectacular
Sleeping lessons is the best song on the cd

'wincing the night away' is wanted by me! beautiful cover art...want to hear more

i like em too
but i have like two songs, new slang and know your onion
i'm hoping i can download some more
i'm such a delinquent

Aaa 'So Says I', 'Kissing The Lipless' and 'Saint Simon' somehow magically appeared on my windows media player recently. I'll never know how, but I'm thankful as the Shins were a great discovery :] Might go out and buy 'Chutes too Narrow' soon xx

I love this band.

I have two of their albums;Kissing The Lipless and Chutes Too Narrow. I can't wait to get their new album.

Em, they have 3 albums, Oh, inverted world, Chutes too narrow and Wincing the night away. No Kissing the lipless on there....
