In the movie 'Garden State', Natalie Portman claimed that listening to the song 'New Slang' by the Shins 'will change your life'. Not exactly life changing bordering on classic status for me, but the Shins is one band that I often consider when looking for something I can ignore to fill the airwaves. (Note: Something I can ignore is a good thing)
Phantom Limb, the first single of their latest album 'Wincing the Night Away', could be labeled as vintage Shins. It carries the same solemn harmonies and is neither quirky nor draining. Just steady, steady enough to wince the night away.
Song Rating: ***
