wiegie 18 Posted June 5, 2007 Just came across their music for the first time recently and it appeals to me. What should I know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broncosn05 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Grits is a fan... Saint Simon and Phantom Limb are alright but it seems like a weird band to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egret 2 Posted June 5, 2007 I've got a couple of their albums. Good stuff. Nice harmonies. Very mellow and relaxing. I don't have their latest one yet. The only problem is that it all starts to sound the same after awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clubfoothead 119 Posted June 6, 2007 I've got Chutes too Narrow on CD or whatever on CD. I like it, I haven't heard the newest one yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clubfoothead 119 Posted June 16, 2007 I was listening to the Shins yesterday on tyhe way home and thought about this thread. How'd that work out for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackass 73 Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) oh! inverted world (first album) is better than chutes too narrow IMO - haven't checked out their new one. Edited June 17, 2007 by Jackass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BYoder 6 Posted June 17, 2007 oh! inverted world (first album) is better than chutes too narrow IMO - haven't checked out their new one. I agree. I have oh! inverted world and still listen to it regularly. I haven't checked out their new album either, but I will at some point because I really enjoy their music.

Dr. Sacrebleu 4 Posted June 17, 2007 They are part of that tinny yet pleasant group of bands with some really good hooks that after a while do become indistinguishable ( oh god, did I just become my parents when I said that all this music sounds the same? ) You would probably also like The New Pornographers (Canadian shins, a little gheyer), Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (slightly edgier Shins) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
