Album of the Week: The Shins – "Wincing The Night Away" (2007)

2009/06/21

Track 4: Phantom Limb:

I already posted Australia, but now I am posting the whole album it is from by The Shins! "Phantom Limb" is a close runner up though.

The Shins are a refreshing sort of band because they really are very unlike anything else. They have a unique sound. The closest in my mind is "Death Cab For Cutie", I suppose. They totally go my speed and have my demeanor though. I am not out of place or time when I listen this album, and there is a dreamy quality to many of the songs on the album too. When this first came out I listened to it over and over.

Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "Australia" being my favorite.

The Shins – "Australia" (2007)

2009/04/24

This song always lights up my day. Today being Friday I may not need it, but I had The Shins on my mind. This song seemed just right. I love the opening lines "born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies, all you want's one more Saturday", that touch of the banjo, and feeling a bit more able to meet the day by the end of the song. Try it out!
