The Shins- Wincing the Night Away
Their third album is the sound of a band growing up and out. James Mercer's infectious, indelible melodic style is still at the core, but on various songs he also channels a Morrissey vibe, pairs a hip-hop beat with lush melodic lines and searing guitars, toys with tweaked-out piano steeped in psychedelic strings, utilizes fractured synth samples, adds gauzy, arpeggiated keyboards that cloak thunderous anthems, and even takes cues from early Jesus And Mary Chain sweeping, fuzz-toned epics.
Track List
- Sleeping Lessons
- Australia
- Pam Berry
- Phantom Limb
- Sealegs
- Red Rabbits
- Turn on Me
- Black Wave
- Spilt Needles
- Girl Sailor
- Comet Appears
