Pitchfork: Shins' James Mercer Spills About Lineup Changes, New Album, Other Projects

I'm always anxious for new Shins material and I'm curious what new direction he plans to go. Hopefully not too ego-centric.
I am curious to see what it would be like if they made a more poppy album. They got some indie/pop stuff but I wonder what it would be like if they cranked that up a notch. A really mellow album would be cool too. As long as they stay fun like they always have been.

EDIT: And thanks for the linky pal.
