The Shins are releasing a new record soon, beautiful world isn't it? Y'know, it's hard not to think that we should savour the delicious 'Chutes Too Narrow' and 'Oh! Inverted World' now, because surely the sold out upcoming Kentish Town shows are a symptom of the 'Oh-look-I've-shared-this-topper-cool-band-on-my-social-network(I'd heard of them years ago)' Virus; deadly.
Sure, the recently debuted 'Simple Song' sounded 'produced', but 'Bait And Switch' sings a terrific melody as rhythmical interaction ensues. The video is bereft of a poorly executed narrative, and shows images of the band performing through shards of 'mumblecore' camera style. Without sounding as sincere as an 1980s shark - 'this is much more like it.'
Long may this be their direction.
