i want to hate the shins, but damn if they don't make consistenly good music. yes zach braff blew their cover, but let's blame that on him and not on a band that makes quality music. their new album 'wincing the night away' feels like a shins album, but better. catchy and breezy pop songs are their bread and butter, but the new album is an odd mix of something a little more soulful and electronic.
personal favorites include:
-sleeping lessons
-sea legs
-black wave
i wonder if the guitarist is still dating the chick from america's next top model.

holy shit, this album is so good. i don't even care about braff anymore. "sea legs" is muh jam.
i think they broke up.
and this album is really, really good. i can't resist them.
I really started to like this album, as I was just getting to know it. And then it became the soundtrack to my BF & I breaking up (and the whole thing turning rather naesty and deceitful). So I had to stop listening to the album. For now. I will pick it up again when everything isn't so jacked up because this mess is hardly the fault of The Shins.
