The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow

Hailing from Albuquerque, NM, The Shins sprung from the ashes of Flake / Flake Music in 1997 (though those previous incarnations date back nearly a decade) - same members, different instruments, different approach. Counterpoint guitars gave way to a single guitar pitted against calculated keyboard passages; swarming indie rock machinations led to pop-based melodic endeavours.

“This quartet from Albuquerque, New Mexico captured our hearts this summer with their pristine pop perfection.” - Mojo

‘Chutes Too Narrow’ is pressed on orange vinyl
