Where did you get it?
How do I get it?
Why can't you up it?

Last I heard, it comes out in January 07.

What's it called?

'Wincing The Night Away'.

It's out on January 22nd...but you losers get it the day after. :D

Just what you think they'd put out. However I'm not complaining.

I was both pleased and dissapointed.
Pleased that it's more of the same and dissapointed that they didn't try something new and a bit more ballsy.
That's the Shins though....and like Pink Moon said, I'm not complaining.

I knew there was something I forgot to download

It's not a bad album so liked said I'm not complaining but, yea, a little experimentation would be nice.

OMGGGGG, I FUCKING LOVE WINCING THE NIGHT AWAY, SO MUCH SO THAT IT'S 4 AM RIGHT NOW AND I CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE THEY'RE STUCK IN MY HEAD!!! ISN'T THAT AMAZING?!!? ISN'T IT?! GODDAMNIT, WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO ADDICTIVE?!?! WHY LORD, WHYYYY?!? ( ok, i think i overdid it a bit there didn't i?)

Yea it definitely grew on me I like way more than my first couple of listens.

yeah, better than Chutes too narrow methinks, and equal to Oh inverted world even....yeah, that's right i said it!

My thoughts exactly ^

I love this band, I own all their albums. I've also got their latest one to be released in 2007, but I haven't listened to it much. This inspires me to go listen to it...

Not sure if I'd call them folk, exactly.

yeah, they're straight up indie...
you haven't listened to WTNA much? and you call yourself a fan...;)

Yeah I know... but I have so much other stuff to keep me occupied. I'ma crack it on now, after some Do Make Say Think.

Thread moved to Indie...hopefully with no objections.

This mans voice...it haunts my head.
Unique, but I've heard 'this type voice' before...just can't put my finger on it.

Album cover art.

Oh I like their cover art, especially the one for 'Chutes Too Narrow' it's all cut away like a landscape and everything, so cool.

I might be the only one who can't get into them.

I think it's a bit too "nursery rhyme" like for me. The qwerky sounds on Red Rabbits and soft eerie jangles on tracks like Sleeping Lessons aren't quite me. The way the guy sings in some places reminds me of Jack White for some reason too, but theres nothing wrong with that.

The Beach Boys crops to mind when I listen...every time, but I can't figure out why. :confused:

I really like this band. They chill me out and quiet the mind.
The songs seem to blend seemlessly, from one to the other.

I saw the art work for the first time yesterday and it's by far the best they've ever.

I so dig what you mean, it's like it's on some special "I will crawl inside your head and make you go insane" frequency. Unexplicably pleasurable. And the choruses with the backing vocals ain't helping much either. And doesn't Sea legs flow so incredibly? It's been playing in a continuous loop in my head for the past few days....no matter what I'm doing, it's in the background....if I ever lose it, I'm blaming The shins!

Agreed swim, the best album cover art they've had by far. I'm so getting this album when it finally comes out. I can already safely say it's one of the best in 2007.

Ooo I like this band! I have Chutes Too Narrow but must get my hands on a few more albums methinks.

i love love love the shins.

first song i heard by them was kissing the lipless.
new slang is my favourite song by them though.

I just downloaded kissing the lipless....urf...
The guys vocals just eviscerated my ears. The guitar is kinda simplistic... Same with lyrics.

Maybe it's just this song but... Ugh, not very good in my opinion. Definetely not indie, more alternative. So i guess it belongs here, but i don't think this is Indie. Or experimental.

my 2 cents

the new cd(bit torrent) is spectacular
Sleeping lessons is the best song on the cd

'wincing the night away' is wanted by me! beautiful cover art...want to hear more

i like em too
but i have like two songs, new slang and know your onion
i'm hoping i can download some more
i'm such a delinquent

Aaa 'So Says I', 'Kissing The Lipless' and 'Saint Simon' somehow magically appeared on my windows media player recently. I'll never know how, but I'm thankful as the Shins were a great discovery :] Might go out and buy 'Chutes too Narrow' soon xx

I love this band.

I have two of their albums;Kissing The Lipless and Chutes Too Narrow. I can't wait to get their new album.

Em, they have 3 albums, Oh, inverted world, Chutes too narrow and Wincing the night away. No Kissing the lipless on there....

True...it's on Oh Inverted World.


...I mean Chutes Too Narrow. :laughing:


Here's the new album again (Wincing The Night Away) for those who missed it first time round.

awesome
 

the shins r real awesome

Kissing the Lipless is on Chutes Too Narrow...?

I'm glad to see that a great band, who may not be the most popular creates such a stir. I'm sure the Garden State film did their credability a lot of good.

man, it might be the computer/internet issues i've had and yes, i know that i might seem like the biggest butt in history...you have that album already?
crazy

In the words of Ali G "Whateva."

yeah, but Ali G's funny....

I love the shins. My favorite song is Kissing the Lipless. Followed by We will Become Silhouettes.

We Will Become Silhouettes, isn't that by The Postal Service?

originally - yes

i like 'em
