Jonathan Nothing takes me back to skipping school in 10th grade circa 2006 like this track. All the feelings of youth start flooding back. This album was big in my high school friend group at the time and opened our eyes and ears up to a whole world of alternative music. Favorite track: The Past And Pending.

lukas I can’t not choose “New Slang” as my favorite track, it’s the track that introduced me to the Shins when I first heard it on the Scrub’s soundtrack as a kid. I would play it over and over until finally years later I realized I should probably check out the album it’s from and wow should I have done so sooner. A close second favorite would have to be “Girl Inform Me”. Favorite track: New Slang.

Oliver Semple How I ever missed this album on its original release I have no idea. Catchy, indie, pop vibe - very easy to listen to. Favorite track: Girl Inform Me.

about

Here’s what we had to say about the Shins debut record circa 2001. Hailing from Albuquerque, NM, The Shins sprung from the ashes of Flake/Flakemusic in 1997 (though those previous incarnations date back nearly a decade) – same members, different instruments, different approach. Counterpoint guitars have given way to a single guitar pitted against calculated keyboard passages; swarming indie rock machinations led to pop-based melodic endeavors (who knew?).
