Album: Oh, Inverted World Label: Sub Pop The other song featured on the Garden Statesoundtrack which helped catapult The Shins beyond the indie stratosphere. It’s their garage band, lo-fi beginnings- a sound that’s heavily highlighted on their first LP (see our other faves “Know Your Onion” and “Girl On The Wing”). When asked if he really thought c...
Album: Wincing the Night Away Label: Sub Pop This tale of lesbian lovers was recently described in an interview with former MTV VJ Kennedy, where Mercer said the idea behind the song was, as he put it, “This angst filled love affair.” He continued, “Wouldn’t it suck to be in this situation in a small town or something and have this really wonderful...
Album: “When I Goose-Step” 7 inch Label: Omnibus “Tap on your cap, there’s a whispering breeze in town.” This B-side gem clocks in at a little over a minute and a half. It’s got pretty harmonies and a soft acoustic backdrop that matches perfectly with the laid-back lyrics. Short, but sweet.
Album: Port of Morrow Label: Aural Apothecary/Columbia The Shins marked their return this past January with “Simple Song,” the first single off Port of Morrow. It was steadily praised by critics and fans alike, and rightfully so. It has an uplifting spirit to it, and it’s the type of record that sounds great on the radio. Mercer recalled how he cam...
Album: Wincing the Night Away Label: Sub Pop During a Moonshine Festival acoustic set in 2004 that was recorded and passed around the Internet, Mercer played an early version of “Girl Sailor,” a song he told The Austin Chronicle “is loosely based on a relationship with a girl, but there’s a lot of elaboration and fiction to it as well. He went on t...
Album: Know Your Onion! EP Label: Sub Pop This wistful, falsetto tango, released on the Know Your Onion!EP, was described by Mercer in an interview with Mother Jones as “one of the early things that really got popular for us.” Sphangnum, a type of moss found in wet and boggy areas, is actually a pretty proper metaphor for the nature of this song, t...
Album: Port of Morrow Label: Aural Apothecary/Columbia As the flip side to “Simple Song,” “September” gave Shins fans a glimpse at the mellower side of Port of Morrow. When asked about the new album, and songs that were most meaningful to him on it, Mercer named this, explaining that it was written about his wife. He was quoted on TwentyFourBitsayi...
Album: Wincing the Night Away Label: Sub Pop The album version of “Spilt Needles” is actually a remix of sorts to what was originally a B-side to “Phantom Limb.” But Mercer, who stretched his production palette on Wincing The Night Away, decided that the “really fast new wave” version of “Spilt Needles” needed some re-working. As he told Pitchfork ...
Album: Chutes Too Narrow Label: Sub Pop The beauty of this song is best described by it’s video director Dennis Fitzgerald, who desperately wanted to feature the black and orange monarch butterflies that migrate each winter from the U.S. and Canada to camp out in the mountains of Central Mexico in something, but needed the right song to do so. A de...
Album: N/A Label: N/A The Shins re-did British band Squeeze’s “Goodbye Girl” as part of Levi’s Pioneer Sessionsa couple years ago. Mercer chose to cover this record for the series saying, “There’s something about it I really connected with. It sounds like something I wish I had written. The sounds of those guys’ voices is really attractive to me. I...

- “New Slang” (from Oh, Inverted World, 2001) Before “New Slang” was etched in pop culture iconography after its appearance in 2004’s Garden State, it was merely the standout track on one of the finest pure pop records to be released in years.
- “Saint Simon” (from Chutes Too Narrow, 2003) A pretty slice of melodic grandeur from Chutes Too Narrow, “Saint Simon” has a metronomic cadence that suggests a certain level of catatonia from sheer emotional exhaustion.
- “Caring Is Creepy” (from Oh, Inverted World, 2001) A surging, eerily melodic, and utterly brilliant opening salvo for a brilliant debut album, “Caring Is Creepy” captures just how terrifying it can be to actually love someone.
- “Turn On Me” (from Wincing the Night Away, 2007) A plaintive number with a tasteful dollop of reverb, “Turn On Me” is a high point on an album replete with low-key, ruminative numbers, more subdued yet no less brilliant than the band’s prior two efforts.
