THE SHINS

One of indie rock's most acclaimed acts, thanks to the witty, affecting songwriting of frontman James Mercer. The Shins' bittersweet, melodic mix of '60s psych-pop, folk, and power pop -- and James Mercer's elliptically emotional lyrics -- make them one of indie rock's definitive acts. The giddy, twenty-something heartache of 2001's Oh, Inverted World generated a landslide of critical acclaim that continued with the more polished sonics of 2003's Chutes Too Narrow. A prominent spot in Zach Braff's 2004 indie film sensation Garden State skyrocketed the band's popularity, making 2007's Wincing the Night Away a Grammy nominated, U.S. Top Ten hit.

Oh, Inverted World transformed the Shins from indie rock underdogs to one of the style's most beloved bands, and deservedly so: it sounded fresh and timeless, universal and uniquely personal. It was so good that it may have raised expectations unfairly for their second album, especially since fans had to wait two-and-a-half years for it.  Initially, Chutes Too Narrow might seem as light and fleeting as dandelion fluff or snow flurries blowing in the wind, but its carefully crafted words and melodies keep the listener wanting -- and coming back for -- more…(AllMusic)
