Chutes Too Narrow by The Shins
Here's how much I love The Shins. When I first heard a track from them on my YM's Launchcast radio last year, I downloaded it. Then proceeded to check out their profile at allmusic. And then I limewired EVERYTHING. Their two albums, and then some. A couple of months after downloading Chutes, I bought myself a copy.
And it's been almost a year since I heard about them, and I play them all the time still! How's that for loving The Shins?
Ok, so I only bought Chutes Too Narrow (via Amazon) and not Oh, Inverted World. But, give me time, I'll get it too. I promise!
I liked them cos of their singer's lilting vocals and crazy phrasing. The guitar work is sparse and melodically happy (unlike the frenetic rhythms of Franz Ferdinand, White Stripes, maybe), but their lyrics are kinda grey, sometimes cynical. I can't describe it. Danice is the music reviewer. All I can say is I love them!!! Yay!!!
