a free copy of "Know Your Onion!" right now!
2005, Sub Pop Records
From the ashes of Flake, then Flake Music, The Shins took shape in 1997 -- same members, different instruments, different approach, culled nearly a decade of playing together. Counterpoint guitars gave way to a single guitar pitted against calculated keyboard passages, swarming indie rock machinations to pop-base melodic endeavors. The resulting sound germinates in a post-punk aesthetic with nods to a traditional pop ethos. There's nothing like it on which to base analysis. Nothing at all. Totally terrific.

Alex CarloThe Shins are one of the most well known 'indie' pop acts around. They craft joyful songs, primarily with acoustic guitars and minimal additional instruments. Oh, Inverted World focuses on the lyrics over the instrumental parts, but the instrumentals are still good. Oh, Inverted World is easy to listen to and enjoy. While the CD does not break any new ground, it is a joyous collection of tunes.
