James, Martin, Dave and Jesse Rockin' New Mexico
The Shins are an indie rock group on Sub Pop Records comprising singer, songwriter and guitarist James Russell Mercer, keyboardist/guitarist/bassist Martin Crandall, bassist/guitarist Dave Hernandez (former Scared of Chaka frontman), drummer Jesse Sandoval, and Eric Johnson of the Fruit Bats. Their sound is commonly described as indie rock, drawing on several musical genres including pop, alternative and folk. The Shins are originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, but are now based in Portland, Oregon.
They gained massive success after being both mentioned and played several times in Zach Braff's hit movie 'Garden State' in 2004.
They have produced three albums by now, Oh, Inverted World (2001), Chutes Too Narrow (2003), and Wincing the Night Away (2007). (read more)
The Shins - New Slang
Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet i was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.
And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
New Slang Lyrics
