The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow

i've never really liked this band too much to be honest, i've always just seen them as a bit of cutesy fun and always gone back to the 60s/70s pop bands they pay homage to all the time apart from the one song 'kissing the lipless' which is essentially one of the best pop songs released in this decade. this week though, i decided to explore the rest of the album with a bit more attention and ****, there's so many pitfalls for this record to fall into and there's so many reasons for this not to be as shockingly good as it is. i'd say it's certainly stronger than any new pornographer release (closest good comparison from recent times i can think of), and that's probably saying a hell of a lot. songs to check: kissing the lipless, turn a square, saint simon. they're all seriously immense.
