So all of a sudden I'm crazy about The Shins newest record "Wincing the Night Away". This came out in January and it got lost in the shuffle of the new Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, !!!, etc...Anyhow, it's a great summer record and perfect to listen to while at the beach or poolside. It's not as cheery and airy as other Shin's records, but that's a good thing because it makes me forget all about "Garden State". My favorite tracks are "Split Needles" and "Sea Legs" which makes me feel like I'm underwater. Plus their lyrics are f-ing amazing!
Go without,
'Til the need seeps in,
You're low anymore,
Collect your novel petals for the stem,
And glow,
Glow,
Melt and flow,
Eviscerate your fragile frame,
And spill it out in the ragged floor,
A thousand different versions of yourself,
And if the old guard still offend,
They got nothing left on which you depend,
So enlist every ounce,
Of your bright blood,
And off with their heads,
