Legacy

The Shins are a US indie band hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Originally known as [a604918], they later changed their name to [a937344] before settling on The Shins in 1997.
Formed in the mid-90s, The Shins quickly gained popularity with their unique blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities. Their distinctive sound, characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, has earned them a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
With several critically acclaimed albums under their belt, including "Oh, Inverted World" and "Chutes Too Narrow," The Shins continue to captivate audiences with their infectious hooks and heartfelt songwriting. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, The Shins are sure to leave an indelible mark on your musical journey.

'port of morrow' is the shins' first new material in four years and in a world where the young 'uns are dabbling in skew-whiff electronica and art funk 'jams' with varying results, this glorious record is a timely reminder of how to craft good old, solid indie rock built on smart storytelling and melodies that head straight for the heart. highly unfashionable, yes, and not a huge departure for the band admittedly, but why deviate from a formula that produces music as swoonsome as opener 'the rifle's spiral', buzzing riff-tinged ode to existential angst 'it's only life', the skittering and sweet 'bait and switch' and 'no way down' and thundering drums-led epic 'simple song'? these are love-on-first-listen songs that have made us fall for the shins all over again.
